A lifetime of looking out for family
Brian Pfeifer’s connection to helping older adults began long before ADAPT Home Solutions.
As a grade-schooler, he was often at his grandmother’s house, just behind his family’s home. He mowed her lawn, helped clean inside and offered a steady hand when she walked to the car for church or came over for a visit. When he once found her unconscious after a diabetes-related episode, he called an ambulance. Looking out for her was simply part of being her grandson.
Later, Brian helped his grandfather transition into living with his parents. He saw how changing needs could affect an entire household—and how practical help could make that transition more comfortable.
Home improvements were another familiar responsibility. Beginning in his teenage years, Brian handled repairs and upkeep. His experience grew to include bathroom and kitchen remodels and renovations of homes he completely gutted. He knew how to change a home for the better. He had not yet considered how those skills could help older adults continue living in theirs.
The experience that inspired ADAPT
Before his father’s fall and subsequent diagnoses, Brian helped his parents recover from knee surgeries. He learned how everyday routines could become difficult during recovery and how much support a family might need at home.
Then his father fell backward while going up the basement steps, suffering cracked ribs, a concussion, and a collapsed lung. He needed surgery and over a week in the hospital. Before he could return home, Brian had to prepare the house.
Brian addressed the entrances, bathroom, bedroom and common areas, adding grab bars, bed rails and other safety and comfort items. His father was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia and parkinsonism, bringing additional challenges for the family.
The experience connected Brian’s renovation skills with his caregiving experience. He also recognized that many seniors did not have the built-in support his parents had.
Brian earned his Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation and founded ADAPT Home Solutions in 2022 to offer that practical help to other families.
Understanding care from everyday experience
More recently, Brian cared for his wife during her battle with cancer in 2024/2025. That experience deepened his understanding of the demands of caregiving for a spouse and the value of dependable help and resources when a family is managing so much.
In 2025, Brian and his wife became shared living providers for a nonverbal adult who is autistic and has physical disabilities. This shared living role has brought new opportunities to understand individual needs, recognize different ways of communicating and help make everyday life more comfortable.
These experiences continue to shape Brian’s appreciation for a home that supports comfort, connection and participation.
Practical experience, thoughtful options
As ADAPT’s owner and operator, Brian brings these lessons into his work with seniors, families and caregivers. He listens to what daily life involves, considers how the home supports those needs and helps identify practical next steps.
His more than 20 years in real estate also help him recognize when a different home deserves consideration. The question is Improve or Move: what makes sense for the person, their circumstances and their future?
When real estate services are needed, Brian provides them as a Realtor licensed with Platinum Realty.
Whether the next step is a grab bar, a bathroom improvement or a housing transition, Brian’s purpose remains the same: help people find a home solution that fits their lives.
