Caring for your loved one just got easier.
As a licensed Occupational Therapist, Aging Life Care Manager®, and Senior Home Safety Specialist, I guide families who want to “Age in Place” or remain in their home safely through the aging process. Services include a wide scope of practice applicable to supporting both the family/caregivers and senior in their home environment.
Specializing in crisis management, I help families bring their loved ones home following a detrimental health event. Using comprehensive home safety assessments, recommending equipment specific to your health needs, and providing thorough caregiver training… it’s never too late OR too early to get started. Call for a free consultation about the needs of yourself or a loved one and I’ll do the rest.
“Having my best friend diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease has been a very sad event, especially for him, but also for his friends. Melissa has been a voice of reason and support for me in the journey of getting my friend into a safe situation. All her recommendations have been first rate. She is a true professional and a compassionate person. Melissa, you guided us in our time of crisis. I can’t thank you enough. We are blessed to have you walking with us on this path.” -Hannah M.
