Client Testimonials 

“I am very glad I chose Home and Able to help me with my plan for Aging in Place. Dena’s assistance, tips, and generous and outgoing nature made her a real pleasure to work with.  One of the best aspects of her Aging in Place Assessment Report, were the tips and suggestions. It’s one thing to ‘tell’ a client what to purchase but she went the extra mile by giving the client pictured examples of products that work, along with purchasing information. THANK YOU!!”

“I first became acquainted with Dena several years ago, when my husband  was progressing along the Parkinson’s path, unfortunately also accompanied by macular degeneration and some dementia.  Dena was sent to us and immediately she made a positive impact on our lives, identifying potential problems in our home that I wouldn’t have picked up, subtle tripping hazards, suitable places for grab bars and reflective tape, plus she introduced exercises that I could assist my husband with as part of a daily routine.  Tom was always happy to greet her and work with her; to me, she became a lifeline of sorts, a beloved and trusted link to the outside world.   Dena has equally high measures of dedication and professionalism, knowledge and compassion.  I’ll always be grateful for the difference she made in our lives, and, honestly, I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Dena Wilkie’s expertise and kindness have been heaven sent as I prepare to care for my frail mother in my home. Dena took detailed information about my mother’s needs, came to my house, and 10 days later provided a report with detailed recommendations. The report even included links to Amazon and other sources for the equipment needed to reduce the risk of falls and help Mom feel safe and comfortable. Home and Able is an amazing service. A thousand thanks, Dena! You’ve helped me go from anxious to confident that I can help Mom’s final chapter be rich and happy.”

“Home and Able was very helpful and understanding of the complex position we found ourselves in. Would recommend to anyone else trying to navigate the needs of a family member with suddenly compromised abilities.”

“Recently, my husband and I had a fantastic experience with a home evaluation conducted by Dena from Home & Able. Dena demonstrated her deep commitment to enabling people to live safely and independently in their own homes. She offered us customized, sensible advice that perfectly suited our needs. Her approachable and professional attitude ensured the evaluation was both seamless and pleasant. We strongly endorse Dena and Home & Able—her impact on our lives was truly significant!”

“Dena was very helpful in reviewing our home and giving us immediate ideas about how to make our house safer, and gave us longer-term input into a possible remodel as to how to make it possible for us to age in place in our home. We are currently fully mobile, just want to think ahead, and she understood that and not only talked to us as she visited the house, but gave us a detailed summary of her findings shortly after her visit. Very much worth doing to make sure we are setting off on the right foot. Thank you Dena!”
