House Doctors has long provided aging in place work through one-off projects. After identifying a growing market need that aligns with the brand's values, the company decided to formally expand its services in this area. The initiative began in November 2023 and gained momentum with the appointment of brand lead, Ann Lilly, to oversee the national rollout, which has since been successfully piloted in six states.

"Our decision to fully embrace the aging in place market came from both personal experiences and industry insights," said Ann Lilly, Brand Lead of House Doctors. "For many families, helping a loved one remain in the comfort of their own home is not just a financial decision, it's about dignity and quality of life. We wanted to offer a trusted solution backed by certification and expertise."

House Doctors selected Age Safe America as its certification partner due to the organization's rigorous standards, including background checks and specialized training, which reinforce the trust customers place in House Doctors when inviting service providers into their homes. Now, all franchisees are required to undergo this certification, ensuring that every location delivers consistent, high-quality aging in place solutions.

Key features of the new service include:

Installation of grab bars, ramps, and other accessibility enhancements.
Home modifications tailored to prevent falls and improve mobility.
Customized solutions that address the unique needs of seniors while maintaining the aesthetic and functionality of their living spaces.

"Aging in place is about more than just making a home safer; it's about creating an environment where seniors can thrive," added Lilly. "Our turnkey approach provides franchisees with all the resources they need, from business plans and marketing strategies to comprehensive training, allowing them to confidently offer these specialized services."

In addition to home modifications, House Doctors plans to introduce a monthly maintenance program aimed at helping seniors maintain their homes over time.
