Testimonial Stories

Ronny's Story

We recently received a call from a very thankful consumer, Ronny, who expressed his excitement about a new winter-weather-friendly walker we provided to him. Ronny, who enjoys walking outdoors, had been struggling with a walker that lacked the stability and traction he needed during the snowy months.

Howard’s Story

In 2024, Howard became a Test Pilot through Disability Advocates of Kent County. After his friends recommended the program, he saw it as an opportunity to use his experience as a wheelchair user to help create a more inclusive environment.

Diane's Story

Diane was determined to stay safely in her home, where she and her husband Richard had shared a lifetime of memories.

Community Testimonials

"I have never seen this format that DAKC uses for the home safety assessment. I love it! It is easy to read and the pictures are also very helpful as well as the list of recommendations and assessment notes."

Disability Advocates’ Home Accessibility Services team uses the Home For Life Design, Inc.  platform to turn home safety assessments into clear, easy-to-understand reports that support collaboration across teams. By organizing findings into safety and accessibility ratings, along with detailed recommendations for home modifications and adaptive equipment, the platform gives case managers, contractors, and consumers a shared framework for decision-making. This streamlined reporting ensures that everyone involved can quickly understand the individual’s needs, prioritize interventions, and implement solutions that promote safety, independence, and successful aging in place.

Disability Advocates made life easier through their resources and the experience and education of the staff.  First time dealing with them and praying they stay in business to help others who need their services.  They are a 5-star organization for what they do and who they serve.

The Absolutely Accessible Kent program has transformed our community, making it a welcoming space for everyone.

Emily

This is an awesome much needed organization, they came through once again when I was down with this broken, shaking, scary walker that was on its last leg, now I can get around with a brand new one with confidence. Thank goodness for Disability Advocates of Kent County and Ms. Renee, you are the best.
