Welcome
Living and Doing at Home
A medical condition
or aging-in-place issues can
make the job of living at home unnecessarily difficult, painful and unsafe.
However, research shows
that we strongly prefer being ‘at home’ rather than having to
move to another location. Susan recognizes the importance of that place
called ‘home’ and
is dedicated to creating supportive environments for her clients -- environments
that enable the familiar habits and routines to continue -- so that people
may remain where they most want to be.
