Home Safety & Fall Prevention (HARP Certified Program)
Creating safer homes, one step at a time.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older adults, but most can be prevented. Our Home Safety and Fall Prevention Program is led by occupational therapists trained in the Home Hazard Removal Program (HARP) — an evidence-based intervention designed to reduce fall risks right where they happen: at home.
Through 2–5 personalized sessions, we help older adults identify and correct fall hazards in their environment and daily routines.
Our process includes:
Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate the person, their home environment, and how they move through daily tasks.
Home Hazard Removal Plan: Together, we create a plan that targets safety risks and recommends practical solutions.
Remediation: We guide and assist with changes such as installing grab bars, rearranging furniture, or introducing adaptive equipment.
Self-Management Strategies: We teach simple ways to improve awareness of safety and reduce behavioral risks.
Every home and individual is unique — that’s why our approach is customized, empowering older adults to remain independent, confident, and safe in their own space.
Cognitive Health & Memory Support (BCAT® Trained Program)
Supporting brain health, independence, and quality of life.
Our therapists are specially trained in the BCAT® Approach, a leading evidence-based program for assessing and addressing memory and other cognitive challenges.
The BCAT® (Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool) is used worldwide by healthcare professionals and is designed to help individuals maintain or improve their cognitive abilities, even when facing early or moderate cognitive decline.
The BCAT® system includes:
BCAT® Test System: Provides objective measures of cognitive functioning and identifies how memory and thinking impact daily activities.
BCAT® Interventions: Evidence-based activities and exercises to support brain health and cognitive performance.
ENRICH® Brain Health Program: Lifestyle and cognitive training strategies to promote long-term wellness.
This person-centered approach helps individuals and their families better understand current abilities, track changes, and participate in meaningful, goal-driven brain health activities. Our goal is to help each person stay engaged, independent, and living with purpose.
Family Caregiver Education & Support (Savvy Caregiver Certified Program)
Empowering families caring for loved ones with dementia.
Caring for a loved one living with dementia can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Our team includes Savvy Caregiver Certified Trainers, offering nationally recognized, evidence-based programs designed specifically for family caregivers.
The Savvy Caregiver Program provides practical knowledge and hands-on strategies to help caregivers understand dementia, manage challenging behaviors, and maintain meaningful daily interactions.
Key benefits include:
Learning how dementia affects thinking, memory, and communication
Building confidence in daily caregiving skills
Reducing stress, burnout, and emotional strain
Strengthening your own self-care practices
This program helps families create a more positive, compassionate, and effective caregiving experience — improving quality of life for both the caregiver and the person they love.
Daily Living Skills Training
Regain confidence and independence in everyday life.
Daily routines like dressing, bathing, cooking, or feeding yourself can become challenging after illness, injury, or with age-related changes — but with the right strategies and support, they can also become achievable again.
Our Occupational Therapists help you build the skills and confidence to manage everyday tasks safely and independently. Each session focuses on your personal goals and home environment, so we can practice in real-life situations that matter most to you.
We provide:
Step-by-step training for dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing, and meal preparation
Safety strategies for using the bathroom, kitchen, and living spaces
Techniques to improve coordination, strength, and problem-solving during daily routines
Our goal is to make everyday activities feel doable, safe, and meaningful — empowering you to live as independently as possible.
Adaptive Equipment & Functional Strategies
Making life easier with the right tools and techniques.
Sometimes a small adjustment or a simple tool can make a big difference in daily independence. Our therapists are skilled in identifying and recommending adaptive equipment that helps you complete tasks with less effort and more safety.
Examples include:
Reachers and grabbers for retrieving items safely
Built-up handles for utensils or grooming tools
Bath seats, grab bars, and non-slip mats for safe bathing
Dressing aids like sock donners or button hooks
We also teach functional strategies — practical ways to adapt how you move, position, or organize your space to make life easier.
Every recommendation is personalized, ensuring that you can continue daily routines with confidence and comfort in your own home.
Energy Conservation & Activity Pacing
Helping you do more, with less fatigue.
When strength or endurance is limited, simple tasks can feel overwhelming. Our therapists teach energy-saving strategies that help you get through your day efficiently — so you can stay active without overexerting yourself.
We focus on:
Planning and pacing activities to balance effort and rest
Simplifying tasks and organizing your home for easier access
Teaching proper body mechanics to protect joints and conserve energy
Identifying priority activities that bring meaning and joy, while minimizing unnecessary strain
By learning how to work smarter, not harder, you can maintain independence, reduce fatigue, and make the most of your energy each day.
