Ready for change, the couple, now proud franchise owners of TruBlue Home Service Ally in Wichita, Kansas, are pursuing their passion for aiding seniors and busy adults in their community. Their motivation stems from personal experiences, with both Tad and Tara having lost their mothers in recent years. TruBlue's commitment to assisting seniors, particularly in fall prevention and home safety, deeply resonated with the Albrights. Related Blog: [Why Choose a Non-Medical Senior Care Franchise Over a Home Healthcare Franchise?](https://www.trubluefranchise.com/blog/why-choose-a-non-medical-senior-care-franchise-over-a-home-healthcare-franchise) As new franchisees, the Albrights are focused on expanding their presence in Wichita while fostering a team that shares their values. Their vision intertwines profitability with purpose, aiming to make a significant difference in the lives of both seniors and busy adults. With Tad's newly acquired CAPS certification (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist), they're eager to enhance their expertise and continue serving their community. ### **Personal Background and Franchise Decision** Reflecting on their prior careers, Tad managed a retail store and had diverse experiences in logistics and business ownership. Tara excelled in restaurant management and customer service. Their hiatus to explore national parks prompted them to reassess their lives, leading them to seek a career that offered more control over their schedules while continuing to serve others. This journey led them to TruBlue Home Service Ally. ### **Perception of Franchising and Brand Choice** Tad views franchising as an opportunity to leverage established systems without reinventing the wheel. TruBlue's reputable brand, supportive network, and commitment to aiding seniors made it an ideal choice for the Albrights. Their dedication to the aging-in-place concept aligns with personal experiences and passions. ### **Business Goals and Growth Plans** The Albrights aspire to expand their market share in Wichita, aiming to purchase additional territories. They prioritize cultivating a dedicated team and aspire to make a meaningful impact while achieving modest financial success. ### **Advice for Aspiring Franchise Owners** Drawing from their experience, the Albrights emphasize the importance of thorough due diligence and selecting a franchisor committed to supporting franchisees. They stress the necessity of dedication and adherence to the franchisor's blueprint for success. As certified specialists, the Albrights are equipped to perform aging-in-place assessments and implement safety modifications, contributing to their mission of enhancing home safety and quality of life for seniors. "We were basically assessing our lives. The last couple of decades were all about customer service — making people feel better. We wanted to continue doing that, but we also wanted to get our weekends back and control and manage our schedules. That led to where we are today as a franchise owner for TruBlue Home Service Ally. We came across an article online about a TruBlue franchise owner from Chattanooga who was building a family legacy. I decided I really didn’t want to work for someone else anymore.” [![TB Blog CTA image](https://www.trubluefranchise.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TB%20Blog%20CTA%20image.png?width=1600&height=500&name=TB%20Blog%20CTA%20image.png)](https://www.trubluefranchise.com/get-started)   ![avatar](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) #### [TruBlue](https://www.trubluefranchise.com/blog/author/trublue) ##### Subscribe for Updates ## RELATED ARTICLES ### [TruBlue June 11, 2024 Senior Care Companies Expanding Their Businesses by Adding TruBlue Franchises In the dynamic fields of senior care and home services, the introduction of TruBlue Home Service Ally franchises is ...
