Home safety and ACCESSIBILITY

Home is where you want to be. Let’s create a space that fits your lifestyle. My goal is to keep you living at home as long as possible, safely and independently.

After evaluating the interior and exterior spaces, I will identify all risk areas and mobility needs, then, put together a comprehensive plan to ensure a safe and easy to navigate home. Such areas might include:

• railing and ramps for safe entry and exit

• handrails and stairlifts inside the home

• grab bars in bathroom to prevent falls

• considerations for safety, mobility, and efficiency in all high use areas

• equipment to make daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meal-preparation easier

Healthcare advocacy

The healthcare system should not be difficult to navigate. However, the reality is as medical needs grow, so does the complexity of meeting those needs. When a lot of information is thrown at you, it can be hard to make sense of it all. I am here to clarify that information, identify what is actually necessary to get your health in order, and explore covered services that can reduce your burdens. My purpose is to work with you, your loved ones, and providers to get the care that is right for you. This could involve:

• identifying your needs and wants prior to medical appointments

• reviewing what was covered in your medical appointments and creating a plan based on your doctor’s recommendations

• simplifying these plans for you, your family, or caregiver
