March 31, 2026 // Franchising.com // FREDERICK, Md. – GreenLight Mobility, a home-modification franchise that keeps families together despite mobility challenges, announced today it has expanded into Maryland, signing a practicing occupational therapist as its newest franchisee.
Entrepreneurs Jodi and Nick DePasquale, who live in Frederick, purchased a GreenLight Mobility franchise to capitalize on Jodi’s healthcare experience and Nick’s background in finance. For 10 years, she has been a practicing occupational therapist for several organizations, including Bayada Home Health Care, as well as a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist from the National Association of Home Builders. Her husband Nick is a U.S. Army veteran with expertise in budget, procurement and project management.
“We chose to invest in GreenLight Mobility because its mission closely aligns with our passion for helping people live safely and independently at home,” Jodi said. “The company is owned by a physical and occupational therapist who are knowledgeable on aging in place and understand the need for creating solutions to help people remain in their homes.”
GreenLight offers a franchise opportunity at the intersection of healthcare, home improvement and aging-in-place solutions. Unlike traditional contracting businesses, the franchise model blends clinical insight with home modification expertise, allowing franchisees to serve a growing number of seniors and individuals with limited mobility. Assessments are performed by or under the direction of a licensed healthcare professional, such as a certified occupational therapy assistant (COTA) or a physical therapist (PT)–not a salesperson.
“By providing mobility and accessibility solutions, the GreenLight Mobility franchise model continues to attract occupational and physical therapists who are committed to serving their communities by allowing more disabled individuals and seniors to age in their own home with a level of independence,” said Oakscale Franchise Partner’s President Joshua Kovacs, who manages franchise sales for the GreenLight Mobility brand.
“Our territory is a growing community with an increasing population of older adults that want to remain in their homes as they age,” Jodi said. “We hope to be a reliable resource to provide the right solutions to those in our community in order to make a difference in those needing our services and expertise.”
GreenLight Mobility is the brainchild of founders Gregg and Karen Frank, a licensed occupational therapist and a physical therapist, respectively. Since 2007, the couple has helped more than 10,000 families remain in their homes, despite mobility limitations. The company’s headquarters is based in Randolph, New Jersey.
