About the Owner
Obie Pilkington
Obie Pilkington, a franchisee of TruBlue Home Service Ally, started with the company that makes safety modifications to homes for older adults and performs house upkeep and chores for them.
Pilkington is a retired Army veteran with 20 years of military service. As a cancer survivor and a father of a child with disabilities, Pilkington knew he wanted the next stage of his career after the Army to be one dedicated to the service of others.
A major impetus for Pilkington to franchise with TruBlue came after he and his wife moved his mother-in-law from Texas to Colorado Springs 11/2 years ago. “We tried doing that in the middle of COVID at the beginning ...(with) no one there to coordinate everything,” Pilkington said. “I was like, ‘There’s got to be a better way to do this.’”
After the move, his mother-in-law was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, a type of memory loss that has a rapid onset.
Pilkington and his wife worked with a social worker and brought his mother-in-law home from the hospital. When they realized they could not manage the situation on their own, they called back the social worker.
“Not my problem, you picked her up from the hospital,” Pilkington said the social worker told him.
Pilkington said he was devastated.
“Where’s the passion of taking care of our seniors?” Pilkington asked himself.
That’s why he now spends his working days devoted to helping seniors. He strives to make it possible for them to stay in their home as long as possible.
Pilkington opened the first TruBlue in Colorado Springs and the second overall in Colorado.
