As an Occupational Therapist and Certified Aging in Place Specialist, I offer detailed in-home evaluations and recommendations for home modifications, durable medical equipment, assistive technology, and design that emphasizes safety, ergonomics, functionality, and accessibility. Please contact me to learn more about this service. 

 

We accept and bill health insurance when possible (when the home evaluation is considered medically necessary per insurance guidelines). Otherwise, services can be provided under a private-pay option.
