ABC 12 News: Modifying Senior's Homes to Keep Them Living Safely

TruBlue Home Care Ally is the only franchise system focused on home maintenance and handyman services for seniors as well as busy adults. In a recent interview with ABC 12 News, the owner of TruBlue Home Care Ally of Grand Blanc, Glenda Kniss , shared some easy modifications and fixes that can be made to help seniors age safely in their homes.

For example, Kniss suggests picking up throw rugs, installing grab bars in the bathrooms and bedrooms, ensuring sufficient lighting in the hallways and much more. TruBlue is able to provide all of those upgrades, as well as expert assessments on what the home, both inside and outside, needs to ensure seniors can age in place successfully.

“Just knowing that elderly parents are safe in their home gives those families peace of mind,” said Kniss.

In addition to home modifications, TruBlue offers ongoing home maintenance and handyman services. Whether that means changing a lightbulb, raking leaves or making large scale adjustments to the home in order to ensure senior safety, TruBlue provides an affordable, full-service, one-stop shop for home maintenance. Additionally, TruBlue's recurring service offering allows seniors to stay on top of routine maintenance, offering a range of services that are scheduled throughout the year.

“We can also help with busy families — if you work all week and you want to spend more time with your family over the weekend, we can free up that time,” said Kniss.
