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 equi
pment 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.”
