The Modules
As a licensed Occupational Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with older adults, I understand that caregivers play a role in providing comprehensive care for their aging loved ones at home. These are the NINE KEY AREAS where knowledge can make a significant difference. By focusing on these aspects, caregivers can enhance the well-being and quality of life those they care for.

Breaking Down Barriers
Current insurance models are trending towards shorter length of stays in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. Their goal is to get patients home as soon as possible. Often times, this means individuals are coming home with the need for more help with their mobility and with taking care of themselves. This leaves little time for caregiver training as well! With lack of education about how to care for your loved one, taking them home can feel overwhelming.
So what can we do?
We can navigate caring for an older loved one, in their home, with confidence. By learning specific strategies, from a skilled and licensed OT, you will have the knowledge and support to keep your loved one home.
