Owner/Therapist
As an occupational therapist for over 30 years, I have helped adapt home environments for people with a variety of accessibility, safety, and sensory needs. My passion for home safety and accessibility is deeply rooted not only in my three decades of professional experience but personal experience as well. Having lived with chronic pain and as a caregiver for my parents, I have a profound understanding of how the environment impacts everyday function and well-being.
Most us want keep living in our own homes as we get older. However, as we age, if the environment doesn't change to support our needs, injuries can occur and our activities become limited. I have seen close friends and family experience traumatic falls prompting a difficult decision to move because their home no longer met their needs.
While numerous considerations impact such a decision, many people are not aware that there are solutions that can help you or your loved one remain in their home. Home modifications such as installing grab bars, ramps, or lifts, and adding adaptive equipment in the bathroom and bedroom for example, can improve safety. These and other personalized adaptations can prevent injuries, promote independence and allow people to age in their own homes as desired.

The Benefit of An Occupational Therapist
A Home Safety Assessment by an occupational therapist is one of the interventions that is proven to reduce the risk of falling at home, improve everyday function, and promote the ability to remain at home.
Without An Occupational Therapist
Without an occupational therapist involved, home modification changes and adaptive equipment choices may not address individualized function or anticipated long-term progression of needs. This can result in expensive projects that need to be redone in the future.
We are committed to ensuring our clients are satisfied.

Testimonials
High Quality, Client Centered Services is Essential at Thrive Accessibility Solutions
A friend of ours had a fall and was hospitalized and could not return home but needed assisted living. When my wife began to have falls, fortunately not serious ones, we knew we had to do something to try to minimize the risk of our falling. We looked for some help. We found Karen Wills of Thrive Accessibility Solutions. She had excellent experience and background. We talked to Karen and had her look at our house and make suggestions. She did this and gave us a number of ideas. Some were simple, others took a little more work and she helped us with those items. We've had great experiences since then and no falls. We highly recommend Karen and Thrive Accessibility Solutions for you.
