## Story

After discovering everything his parents needed to stay in their home as they grew older, Gig Harbor resident Nathan Hokenson has elected to open the first TruBlue Total House Care location in his community. In an article with The Senior Scene, the lifelong Gig Harbor local shows how he and TrueBlue are committed to providing a helping hand.

Before becoming a business owner, Hokenson worked as an EMT and a volunteer fireman. He also had a 12-year career in orthopedic medical sales, allowing him to be a fixture in hospitals. This unique background and his personal connection have given Hokenson unique insights into the community.

“Over the past few years, in particular, I’ve seen a growing demand for home maintenance and senior services in the area,” said Hokenson.
