Kelsey’s favorite sign was more; what would you like to make/see ‘Home for More’ of?
Inclusion! Too often, people with disabilities have been separated from the community, and I want my brother to be able to live in a community where he feels welcome, included, and valued.
What accessibility or building features are you most excited about at The Kelsey?
The Inclusion Concierge! I love that these spaces will be accessible not only physically, but emotionally as well. Building community in living spaces is an important part of wellbeing, and I love that this kind of unity and community will be accessible to The Kelsey residents.
