I have been an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years. The majority of my career has been focused on long term care and adult rehabilitation. I have a passion for aging and adaptation of homes to allow aging in place. I forecast the future to hold a number of challenges in access to healthcare facilities, availability of beds, and increasing financial burden for the aging population. A long time dream has led me to starting Solutions 4 Home, LLC! Among other certifications and training, I recently completed USC's Executive Certificate in Home Modification to start me on my journey. I look forward to helping you and your family to invest in solutions to keep you forever home.
