I help my patients and their families navigate through complicated healthcare systems and provide a basis of support for them to minimize their feelings of being overwhelmed and anxious. As an occupational therapist for 18 years, I offer a unique background in helping people of all ages to achieve the highest quality of care and the opportunity to help people remain in their homes longer, living as independently and safely as possible. I am also uniquely experienced as a client care coordinator for a caregiver agency, enabling me to provide resources for patients and families looking for caregiver support, respite, and assistance in their homes. I accompany patients to doctor appointments or call in remotely to help them understand medical information, diagnoses, and treatment options. I help coordinate care between the healthcare team to ensure that the entire team is communicating with each other and keeping the patient's needs and desires a priority. I assist patients and families in their search for alternative living environments, such as assisted living and memory care facilities. My overall goal is to help patients feel empowered to make informed and meaningful healthcare decisions during medically challenging times. YOUR best interests are always mine. Please contact me for a complimentary 20 minute phone consultation to determine how my services may be of help to you or a loved one.
