Episode 348-Home Accessibility Upgrades and Universal Design for All with Erica Sell
Episode 348
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
Send us Fan MailYour house can be beautiful and still be safer, easier, and more supportive for real life. I sit down with Erica Sell, owner of Harmony Home Medical in San Diego, to get practical about home accessibility, assistive technology, and universal design for families raising neurodivergent kids and for anyone planning to help aging parents live well at home.We start with how Erica built a high-touch, education-first medical equipment showroom after seeing a gap between what people truly need and what third-party payer criteria tends to prioritize. From there, we dig into bedroom solutions like high-low adjustable beds that look like normal furniture, plus enclosure bed options families often search for when safety and nighttime behaviors become a serious concern. We also talk honestly about how coverage and classifications can change, and what it means to plan ahead instead of waiting for a crisis.Then we go through the home with specific aging-in-place and special needs home modification ideas. In the kitchen: task-height surfaces, safer appliance controls, and layered lighting that improves visibility while respecting sensory needs. In the bathroom: modern grab bars that don’t look institutional, smarter layouts, and transfer systems that reduce lifting and protect caregiver backs as kids grow. We close on community resources, the rapid innovation in lightweight mobility devices, and why remodeling is the perfect time to quietly build in universal design.If this helped you, subscribe, share with a caregiver or parent, and leave a quick review with the one home upgrade you’re prioritizing next.Support the showSJ CHILDS - SOCIALS & WEBSITE MASTER LISTWEBSITES- Stream-Able Live — https://www.streamable.live-COMING SOON- The SJ Childs Global Network — https://www.sjchilds.org- The SJ Childs Show Podcast Page — https://www.sjchildsshow.comYOUTUBE- The SJ Childs Show — https://www.youtube.com/@sjchildsshow- Louie Lou (Cats Channel) — https://www.youtube.com/@2catslouielouFACEBOOK- Personal Profile — https://www.facebook.com/sara.gullihur.bradford- Business Page — https://www.facebook.com/sjchildsllc- The SJ Childs Global Network — https://www.facebook.com/sjchildsglobalnetwork- The SJ Childs Show — https://www.facebook.com/SJChildsShowINSTAGRAM- https://www.instagram.com/sjchildsllc/TIKTOK- https://www.tiktok.com/@sjchildsllcLINKEDIN- https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjchilds/PODCAST PLATFORMS- Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/4qgD3ZMOB2unfPxqacu3cC- Apple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sj-childs-show/id1548143291CONTACT EMAIL- sjchildsllc@gmail.com
