Meet Your Home Safety Consultant

Inspired by family, guided by experience, and dedicated to helping older adults age in place safely.

Meet Kay

My name is Kenneshia “Kay” Cross, and I founded Home Safety Consultant because I believe every older adult deserves to live safely, confidently, and independently in the home they love. My passion is helping individuals and families make thoughtful, practical changes that reduce fall risks and support successful aging in place.

Growing up, my grandparents, especially my grandmother, meant the world to me. I was always by her side, following her everywhere we went. In fact, family and friends affectionately called me “her handbag.” The love, wisdom, and time we shared continue to inspire the work I do today.

As I watched my grandmother experience gradual changes in her mobility, I began to see how even small obstacles around the home could make everyday activities more challenging. That experience taught me how much a safe, thoughtfully designed environment can influence a person’s ability to remain independent, active, and engaged in daily life.

That realization became the foundation of my career. I wanted to help families take proactive steps before a fall or injury occurs. My goal is to create home environments that are easier to navigate, address everyday hazards, and support older adults in remaining comfortable and confident in their own homes.

More Than 20 Years of Experience

For more than 20 years, I have worked as a Licensed Occupational Therapist and Gerontologist, as well as a Certified Fall Prevention Specialist (CFPS) and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). Throughout my career, I have worked alongside older adults recovering from falls, fractures, surgeries, and other life-changing health events.

Those experiences have given me firsthand insight into how quickly an unexpected injury can affect a person’s independence and disrupt a family’s daily life.

Over the years, I realized that some of the most meaningful impact happens before a fall occurs. Identifying potential hazards, making practical modifications, and planning ahead can often help prevent injuries and the challenges that may follow.

Through personalized home safety assessments and practical recommendations, my mission is to help older adults remain safer at home, maintain their independence, and give their families greater peace of mind.
