Restoring Independence and
Mobility at Home
Case Study


The Challenge
A couple wanted to improve their daily comfort and independence, particularly to better accommodate one partner who uses a wheelchair, while also reducing the physical strain and time commitment on the spouse as a caregiver.
Our approach focused on identifying high-impact modifications that directly improved quality of life. The result was regained independence for both homeowners and a significantly lighter load for the spouse serving as a caregiver, making daily life feel much more manageable.
Better Rest & Comfort: We helped source and install adjustable beds that offer much better support, maintaining the aesthetic of their original furniture while gaining modern functionality.
Creating Space to Move: We coordinated with specialized contractors, partnering with a team owned and led by Occupational and Physical Therapists, to widen key doorways, making it seamless to navigate the home in a wheelchair and removing daily obstacles.
A Truly Accessible Bathroom: Serving as the homeowner’s advocate, we partnered with an OT/PT-led team to install a custom roll-in vanity and barrier-free shower, transforming a high-friction space into one that restores self-reliance and significantly reduces physical strain for the caregiving spouse.
All the Little Things: We also managed the completion of various minor home repairs to leverage the opportunity of having this resource onsite for the larger project.
