Welcome to Open Door Access

I am Nancy Krusen, and I created Open Door Access to be your expert in the science of doing and living.  I am an occupational therapist and a geriatric care manager.  I work with people of all ages in a variety of settings and have learned that we each have similar desires regardless of age or circumstances: we want to be able to take care of ourselves and we want to be connected to the people we love.  I started Open Door Access to create accessible communities, and am gradually expanding the depth and breadth of services I provide as I learn what people want.  My passion as a health care provider is to help people to live the way they want to live, where they want to live, with self-determination and dignity.  I enjoy helping people identify their priorities and choose the best possible solutions.

I am originally from Dallas, Texas, though I now consider the Colorado mountains my home.  I currently serve on the faculty at Colorado State University, teaching graduate students in the Department of Occupational Therapy.  I also volunteer with state and national professional associations, staying current in my teaching and learning.  I enjoy an active life including opportunities to refresh myself.  In my spare time, I hike, read, do needlework, play the flute, volunteer in the public school system and prepare endless meals for an irregular parade of kidlings.  All these things and more I do to achieve balance in my life in order to provide excellent service for the people who are important in your life.  Thank you for visiting me at Open Door Access.  I look forward to hearing from you.
