TESTIMONIALS for KELLY NESBITT

“Kelly and I met in 2025 at a networking event for professionals who support older adults. From the start, she quickly recognized the potential of Hello Everyday and became a meaningful supporter. Kelly helped connect me with influencers and thought leaders within occupational therapy communities, and she did so with the right mix of enthusiasm, professionalism, and follow-through.

Kelly brings a rare combination of relationship-building skill and credibility. She has a strong network of professionals who value her perspective, and she consistently shows up as someone who is collaborative, thoughtful, and action-oriented. I believe Kelly is at the beginning of a significant growth trajectory, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

“I have known Kelly for 6 years and have been privileged to work with her. Between the two of us, we have 50 years of medical clinical experience. Kelly and I often see patients and families in dire need of a higher level of care or a modified living environment.

Personally, I was in a similar situation with my own aging parents this past year and a half. Kelly was an AMAZING resource for us as we navigated placement for my father with dementia and began a renovation for my mother. Kelly had excellent insight, knowledge and resources to allow for my parents to be set up in an optimal long term plan.

Kelly was always responsive to questions and concerns during my process of making decisions regarding the remodel. I’m so grateful for her as our project was able to move along smoothly and a wonderful (aging in place) space was created for my mother.” - Physical Therapist, Legacy Health

"Kelly was instrumental in helping us make design choices when building my mother's casita. After my father passed, my husband and I decided to transition my limited mobility elderly mother to our home. Soon after, we recognized we needed our own spaces and plans for an ADU to suit her needs quickly began.

Though new building codes already mandated certain ADA accessibility requirements, we quickly recognized that we needed a more customized plan. Kelly gave us a detailed list of design requirements specific to my mother's needs, including: appropriate flooring selections, lighting considerations, floor layouts that would accommodate a future live-in caretaker, specific shower bar adaptations, design layouts that would create clear pathways, AND SO MUCH MORE.

We were able to pass this detailed list on to our architect, who was able to incorporate these accommodations into our final design. We are super grateful for her insight and guidance. Her input saved us thousands of dollars and time in what would be future renovations." - Dee Roberts - 10/2024
