Now, with the senior population growing and the demand for home services skyrocketing post-COVID, TruBlue Total House Care is continuing to recruit qualified professionals onto the leadership team to help steer the brand in the right direction. The most recent addition, in a consultative role, is [Carrie Coumbs](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrie-coumbs-post-acute-care-executive/), TruBlue’s new Senior Strategic Advisor. Coumbs brings an extensive and impressive background in the senior care space. For the last two decades, she has been a specialist in all areas of aging, working for some of the largest organizations within the senior care continuum. “My entire career has really been about trying to perfect the space of aging,” said Coumbs. “It is through that mission that I started to embrace connections with peripheral market supporters, whether it be rideshare companies, meal companies or, in the case of TruBlue, handyman companies. As a strategist in aging, it isn’t about what I can do, but about how I can make connections within the industry to better serve seniors.”  Within the past year, Coumbs was able to [connect TruBlue with The Helper Bees](https://trubluehousecare.com/articles/blog-the-helper-bees), bringing forth another strategic partnership in the Medicare Advantage space. That connection stuck with the TruBlue leadership and made Coumbs a “first call” when looking to add to the growth strategy ahead. Now, as awareness around the importance of aging in place continues to increase, TruBlue is set for massive growth. Since the start of 2022, TruBlue has [added 10 new franchise locations](https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-finishes-first-quarter-with-10-new-locations-2718607#featured), keeping the brand on pace to reach its goal of 100-plus locations by year’s end.
