Home Evaluations

One passion area of mine is helping to create accessible home environments for people after injury, with disability, or to remain living at home while we age. I have been doing home evaluations for over 8 years and have completed over 1050 home assessments for adults of all ages.

I will start with a consultation phone call to discuss your needs followed by a home evaluation and follow up visits as needed.

Less than 1% of U.S. homes have the seven accessibility features to support aging in one’s home.

  1. Accessible entrance.

  2. Accessible and usable public and common areas.

  3. Usable doorways (wide enough and handles).

  4. An accessible route into and through the covered unit.

  5. Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and other environmental controls in accessible locations from a wheelchair.

  6. Reinforced walls for grab bars.

  7. Usable bathrooms and kitchens.

    -According to the Federal Fair Housing Act.

I focus on Universal Design and Visitability concepts.

  • Universal Design: A design technique that aims to create spaces that are accessible to people of all ages and abilities, regardless of their size, disability status, or other factors.

  • Visitability: Focus on new houses to have the following 3 features: One Zero-step entrance, doors with 32 inches of clear passage space, and at least one bathroom on the main floor that can be accessed with a wheelchair.

Testimonials from previous clients:

  • Jennifer was fantastic! We decided to rebuild our current lake home to allow us to continue to live at the lake as we age. She communicated with the builder to make sure the home had features we would have never considered such as a level-entry from the garage, backing for current and future grab bars, a wider stairwell with electrical in case we wanted a stair lift in the future, wide hallways and doorways, and added strategic storage by the toilet that has been very convenient for us! She brings a valuable perspective to home design that would be missed if we didn't include her in the home building process.

    Bonnie & Ted

  • Jennifer Ferguson has been our daughter Ashley’s occupational therapist for several years. Ashley was stricken by a rare Neuro-Autoimmune attack that had a profound impact on her motor skills. Jenn is continuously implementing new and innovative therapies to improve Ashley’s ability to become more independent. Ashley’s communication skills are also severely impacted. Jenn has the patience to ensure she is getting Ashley’s feedback on goals she is seeking to accomplish and addressing questions Ashley has during therapy.
