February 17, 1999 Nashville, Tennessee - Life@Home, Inc. is a one-stop provider of home modification products and services for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities in the middle Tennessee area. The focus of Life@Home is to aid seniors and the disabled in gaining back and/or retaining their independence in living. The need for this company was created to serve a market which was previously being ignored. In depth research has provided this company with the knowledge and cost effective methods to provide safety and peace of mind for each individual’s situation. Life@Home also offers a satisfaction guarantee on products to ensure peace-of-mind. Since every home is unique, Life@Home will conduct a needs analysis with each person to help uncover potential problem areas in and around their home. Life@Home is equally owned by three partners - Mark Fry, Ronnie Ferguson, and Richie Simmons. Mr. Fry, a MBA graduate from the Massey School at Belmont University, serves as president of the firm. After building a thriving construction company, MKF Construction, he consistently witnessed the need for this type of company. Ronnie Ferguson, a successful business man out of Franklin, Kentucky, knows first hand the needs of senior citizens. Nearing senior citizen status, Mr. Ferguson is acutely aware of the desire of seniors to remain independent in their own homes. The third partner, Richie Simmons, brings to the firm a wealth of knowledge in the remodeling and renovation business. Through his experience, he is convinced of the significant opportunity not only for seniors, but the disabled community at large to remain in their homes with customized, accessibility modifications. "We know people are healthiest and happiest in their own homes," said Mr. Fry, president of Life@Home. "Life@Home is dedicated to creating a healthier living environment for those who are not only physically challenged, but may also be facing upcoming health concerns due to normal aging." "The management team at Life@Home has an excellent concept, are trustworthy, efficient, and have a desire to serve," said Carroll Ellis, a Green Hills resident and Life@Home customer. "It is easier to continue to say ‘YES’ to life as time flies by if you feel safe and secure in your own home." More people enter nursing homes due to accidents in the home than for any other reason. For one year of nursing home care, an individual’s expenses can total over $50,000. This may not cover medical expenses which are climbing higher and higher each day. "We treat patients with life altering circumstances everyday," said Julie Dale, a registered nurse. "Life@Home provides an alternative to assisted living or nursing home care. There are more seniors and individuals with disabilities today than ever due to medical advancements. This company provides real value for our community." "Over the years it has been my experience that patients have had a difficult time trying to locate a company who not only has the materials, but is also willing to install them," said Dorothy Lesch, OTR/L, an occupational therapist, "With a company like Life@Home, physical and occupational therapists can work hand in hand to ensure safety items are properly installed for their patients well being." Life@Home offers a wide variety of products such as the Emergency Response System, wheel chair ramps, grab bars, intercom systems, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, proper lighting solutions, door security products, and many more residential safety and convenience items.
