Helping You Care for the Ones You Love—And Plan Wisely for the Road Ahead
When someone you love is aging or recovering from an injury, home can quickly go from comfortable to complicated.

At Your Pleasant Home, we specialize in personalized, thoughtful solutions that help families create safer, more livable homes. Whether you’re facing immediate challenges or planning for your future, we’re here to help you create a pleasant home environment that supports comfort, dignity, and independence at every stage of life.
Why I became an aging in place specialist
I was only in my 50’s when I had the dreaded “I’ve fallen and can’t get up moment!”
Hi, I’m Fran, and this business was born out of both personal experience and professional perspective.
Years ago, I suffered a serious injury that required surgery and a long, challenging recovery. I’ve also walked the path as a hospice caregiver, struggled with my own family’s journey through difficult life transitions, and helped families manage the emotional and financial realities of loss.
My professional background includes work in real estate, financial services, and kitchen and bath remodel design assistance, which means I’ve helped people plan, protect, and reimagine their homes and assets during some of life’s biggest moments.
I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to make thoughtful decisions before a health event forces your hand—and how empowering it is when families are prepared.
That’s why I do this work. I’m here to help you plan smarter, respond confidently, and create a home that works for your family today and tomorrow.
Who We Serve
Providing You With The Resources & Design Ideas To Future-Proof Your Home
Our clients are often caregivers, adult children, spouses, or individuals who want to maintain independence as they age. We also work with people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are remodeling or purchasing a home and want to future-proof their space before a crisis occurs.
No matter your life stage, we meet you where you are—with empathy, expertise, and solutions that make sense for your life. We also help multi-generational households through universal design principles so that every family member – and guest – will be safe and comfortable.
What started as a personal journey is blossoming into a community of like-minded individuals all working toward the same goal: maintaining a vibrant lifestyle throughout all stages of life. Whether you’re looking for help for an immediate need or just beginning to think about what you’ll need to make your life more comfortable in the years to come, I am happy to assist. If you need solutions that require specialized medical insight, I have access to a network of occupational & physical therapists that can guide with progressive illnesses like Parkinson’s and alzheimer’s. Feel free to connect so we can get you the best solutions.
why this matters
Empowering Families to Take Control of Their Futures Through Design

We believe with the right support, people can age with dignity, recover with confidence, and live with greater independence and freedom—without having to leave the home they love.
At Your Pleasant Home, I’m here to be your guide, your cheerleader, and your resource for barrier-free living. My goal is to provide you with an actionable plan that makes decisions and shopping for mobility devices easier.
“I love how practical and easy-to-follow the tips are from April! April breaks down budgeting and debt payoff in a way that feels achievable, no matter where you’re starting from.”
