My Services
I work with older adults in their homes to educate them on how to stay strong and age with confidence. My main goal is to empower you to feel safe aging, and there are three major areas we will focus our time on.
FALL PREVENTION
Falls account for 25% of all hospital admissions and 40% of all nursing home admissions. They are the leading cause of death due to injury for those over 65. Learn how to reduce the risk of falling, the strategies for reducing injury, and staying safe if you do fall.
HOME SAFETY
We evaluate the home environment from a safety perspective. Grab bars, rug replacements, and railings can all help you stay comfortable and safe at home. We partner with Oakley Home Access and Personal Emergency Response systems to keep you safe as you age.
BALANCE & MOBILITY
It is never too late to strengthen your muscles and become more confident on your feet. Regular exercise will improve balance, strengthen muscles, boost endurance, and increase overall flexibility, reducing your risk for falls and serious injury.
Testimonials
JOYCE
“Dancing makes me feel alive!
After a medical procedure, I was physically and mentally drained. Learning how to engage my core and improving my balance and breathing enabled me to overcome my obstacles. My fears were replaced with a new confidence to dance and be alive again. Thanks Kathy, for giving me the tools to awaken my mind and my body.”
