ElderCARE at HOME – Aging in Place

For many older adults, the greatest wish is simple: “I want to stay in my own home.” Aging in place allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings, close to neighbors, friends, and community. But doing so safely and successfully often requires thoughtful planning and the right support.

At ElderCARE, our occupational therapist is uniquely qualified to look at the whole picture functional, cognitive, and physical while making personalized recommendations that support independence, dignity, and quality of life.

Two Service Tracks

Home Safety Assessment (Immediate Risk Focus)

Goal: Identify and reduce risks such as falls, tripping hazards, or unsafe bathroom setups.

Includes: Review of lighting, flooring, pathways, stairs, thresholds, grab bars, and emergency access.

Best for: Individuals at risk of falling, recovering from an injury, or advised to take preventive safety steps.

Note: If you are under a physician-ordered OT plan of care through home health, Medicare may sometimes cover this type of assessment. In that case, ElderCARE can partner with your home health company as a consultant to support their evaluation.

Home Livability & Aging-in-Place Assessment (Future Planning)

Goal: Ensure the home supports independence and comfort over time.

Includes: Recommendations for accessibility (ramps, wider doorways, turning space), adaptive equipment, kitchen/bathroom ease of use, and universal design solutions.

Best for: Adults planning to remain at home long-term, or those managing progressive conditions.

Note: This service is typically private-pay, since Medicare does not usually cover proactive or convenience-based planning.
