Terry Gesell
Founder, Senior Partner
My name is Terry Gesell and I am the founder and senior partner of Grab Bars, Etc., a limited liability company with over two decades of experience installing independent living products. Having a career working as an occupational therapy provider and as an assistive technology specialist has allowed me to help others to achieve greater functional independence, and in many cases, make an enormous impact on improving their quality of life. As a professional installer of grab bars, ramps, and other durable medical equipment, I take great consideration of my client’s home environmental needs to determine just the right assistive device and the best placement for the most functional outcome. I know that those I provide services for are depending on my professional advice, especially after many of them are returning home from a major illness or injury requiring rehabilitative care.

Thank you for helping my mom be safer in her home. After you installed grab bars in the shower and bathroom, she was able to use both independently and without fear of falling. With your expertise and knowledge, we knew we were in the right hands.
