Homes should support a person's abilities and enable them to live how they want to live.
BevVan Phillips, our founder, is both a licensed Occupational Therapist in Nebraska and Iowa and a licensed REALTOR in Nebraska, with Prudential Ambassador Real Estate. She graduated with honors from the School of Allied Health, Louisiana State University Medical Center. She holds the real estate designations Senior Real Estate Specialist. At Home With Diversity, and Graduate Real Estate Institute. She has also earned the Certified Aging in Place Specialist designation through the National Association of Home Buyers.
BevVan's desire to become an Occupational Therapist and ultimately create Home Access Solutions was inspired by her parents and each of her brothers. Through their examples of wisdom, ingenuity, courage, and perseverance she learned early that there is more than one way to do almost any human activity and that independence at home leads to independence in the community. She passionately believes that it is the sum of the everyday activities in our lives that provides the basis of quality of life.

Donna McGlynn's Father had parkinson's Disease and Dementia and she realized how difficult it was to care for him and how much easier accessibiltiy products would have made his care. Donna has held many positions of responsibility over her professional career, but now as our office manager, she is able to make sure that other people have access to those products and solutions her own family didn't know about. She is motivated by the feeling like she may have made a difference in someone's life every day at work.
