Personal Statement

I enjoy working with seniors to assist in any way I can to support and maximize independence and quality of life at home. My home health physical therapy practice has had this focus, and now is extended to caregiving. I respect and give precedence to a person's autonomy and wishes while providing care. I make myself available to support, educate, and enhance any goals my client has, to meet any needs presented. I offer my care with flexibility, kindness, gentleness, and humor, meeting my clients on his or her terms. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss your care needs and to explore possibilities.
