Inhabit Colorado is the fruit of a conversation between a therapist and a patient in a local Denver hospital. Years ago, Renee was working as an inpatient therapist, and as she was discharging her patient she began to ask questions about her patient’s home environment. As they worked through a home safety checklist, the patient remarked that she and her husband decided that they wanted to stay in their home as they age instead of going to a facility. The woman went on to say that it took them over 5 years to renovate their home in a way that was accessible but also still beautiful because they struggled to find professionals with expertise in both areas. Renee left the room that day and mused about the possibility of starting such a business. Over the next few years, she sought out certifications and credential that would enable and empower her to provide clients with the best information and solutions to thrive in their home environment. After years of discussing, planning, acquiring special certifications, and dreaming, Inhabit Colorado was born.
