It’s time the hospitality industry caters to all guests equally... I’m often unable to access the spa, massage therapists turn me away, and most resorts overlook that I too seek these experiences.”

CONWAY, SC, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Handicap Help, LLC, a leader in accessibility advocacy, proudly announces its new consulting services designed to redefine accessibility standards in luxury resorts worldwide. This innovative program empowers high-end resorts to elevate their accessibility offerings, ensuring that guests of all abilities, including those with service dogs, can enjoy luxury without compromise.

Led by Dr. Constance Quigley, an expert in organizational leadership and accessibility advocacy, Handicap Help’s consulting team brings years of specialized experience to the hospitality sector. Their comprehensive approach covers everything from room layouts to staff training, meticulously tailored to the unique demands of luxury hospitality.

"Luxury should be experienced by everyone," says Dr. Quigley. "Our goal is to create spaces where people of all abilities feel valued and cared for, bridging the gap between top-tier hospitality and true inclusivity."

Handicap Help’s Comprehensive Consulting Services
Handicap Help’s consulting services offer resorts tailored guidance to make accessibility seamless and inviting. Key focus areas include:

Accessible Room Design
Handicap Help provides guidance on room layouts designed to deliver a luxury experience for guests with mobility, auditory, and visual impairments. Drawing from lived experience, Handicap Help recommends impactful adjustments that transform ADA rooms into inclusive, welcoming retreats.

Service Dog Accessibility
Recognizing the essential role of service dogs, Handicap Help’s proprietary consulting goes beyond standard accommodations, offering tailored amenities for service dogs and their handlers. From relief areas to specialized in-room solutions, each enhancement is crafted to create an elevated, seamless resort experience.

Inclusive Resort Navigation
Handicap Help assists resorts in creating intuitive navigation for all guests, including accessible paths, ramps, elevators, and clear signage, making movement throughout the property easy and enjoyable for everyone.

Adapted Amenities and Activities

Staff Training and Guest Interaction
Proper training is essential for exceptional service to guests with disabilities. Handicap Help’s sensitivity training program equips staff to confidently interact with guests of diverse needs, including best practices for serving those with service dogs.

Championing True Inclusion in Luxury Hospitality
Handicap Help’s founder, Sgt. Jordan Teegardin, a service-disabled veteran, knows firsthand the challenges of finding accessible accommodations. “In every suite I’ve rented since my injury, I incur extra expenses just to make accommodations accessible—I’ve never experienced a resort that truly considers me,” explains Teegardin. “It’s time the hospitality industry serves all guests equally. For instance, I’m often unable to access the spa, massage therapists turn me away, and most resorts overlook that I too seek these experiences. Our consulting team is uniquely positioned to help resorts create spaces that provide true comfort, dignity, and accessibility for differently abled travelers. This isn’t just an improvement—it’s a necessity.”
