Your Partner in Aging Well at Home
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Caring, practical guidance to help families, older adults, and caregivers feel confident about home safety, healthcare, and life’s aging transitions and decisions.
Local Support. Nationwide Guidance.
For more than 20 years as an occupational therapist, I have helped older adults and families improve home safety, plan practical home modifications, and navigate difficult healthcare decisions. My goal is to turn an overwhelming situation into clear options and a workable plan.
In-person home safety and aging-in-place consultations are available throughout New York’s Capital District, including Saratoga County Albany, and surrounding counties. Virtual services are available for all families nationwide, including home safety and modification assessments, caregiver guidance, education, and planning consultations.
Where Are You Right Now?
You don’t need to know which service you need. Start with what you are facing, and I’ll help you determine the next step.

PREVENT
Prevent ∙ Keep Home Safe
Sometimes the biggest risks are the ones we stop noticing.
I will virtually walk through your home- or your loved one’s home- with you, looking beyond obvious fall hazards to consider mobility, daily routines, accessibility, cognition, vision, equipment needs, and the way the homme actually functions for the person living there.
Falls don’t happen because families don’t care- they happen because it’s hard to see the risk in a space you live in or the progressive weakness that may be slowly occurring. An experienced eye can spot the small changes that make the biggest difference in keeping someone safe and independent at home.
You’ll get a personalized, practical action plan- not a generic checklist- with clear next steps you can start right away and others to consider for the long term plan.
What’s included:
Virtual room- by-room assessment
Fall and safety risk identification
Mobility and accessibility considerations
Bathroom and daily living safety
Dementia and low-vision consideration when applicable
Equipment and home modification recommendations
Personalized written action plan
You will leave knowing what needs attention now, what can wait, and what changes may make everyday life safer and easier.
NAVIGATE
Navigate ∙ Support Now
When Healthcare Gets Complicated
A hospitalization, rehab stay, or unexpected decline can turn life upside down quickly. Suddenly, there are discharge plans, equipment decisions, insurance questions, care conferences, and people using terminology you may never have heard before.
This is when you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
Hospital & Rehab Advocacy Call
For when you need help now.
We’ll talk through what’s happening, identify the questions you need answered, clarify who on the healthcare team you need to speak with , and help you prepare to advocate confidently.
What's included:
One private consultation
Hospital/rehab/discharge guidance
Questions to ask the care team
Help organizing the next steps
Priority scheduling, typically within one business day
Please note: This consultation provides guidance and advocacy support based on my clinical experience — it is not legal representation, and I cannot guarantee a specific outcome from your hospital or rehab facility. My goal is to make sure you feel prepared and confident going into these conversations.
For situations that won’t be solved in one conversation.
Hospital and rehab discharges rarely unfold in one conversation. This package gives you three calls to use as things change- before a care conference, during discharge planning, or whenever you need it.
I’ll help you understand what’s being recommended, prepare the right questions, and determine the next steps.
This package includes:
Three private consultations
Use as needed during the same care situation
Continued guidance as circumstances change
Priority scheduling
This is phone/video guidance and advocacy support — not a substitute for legal counsel or emergency medical care.
Ongoing Advocacy Support
(3-Call Package)
