SERVICES OFFERED:
I understand that senior care involves many different professionals and resources. That's why I offer services directly to clients and families and through referral to current interdisciplinary teams or outside resources as necessary.
My services are designed to complement the care provided by other professionals and resources, and I work closely with them to ensure that my clients receive the most comprehensive and coordinated care possible.

Applying a bio-psychosocial approach, I will provide therapeutic recreational activities to seniors by assessing individual interests, organizing group and one-on-one activities, providing access to community resources, and incorporating therapeutic elements into the activities. By doing so, I can help seniors maintain their physical, mental, and emotional health while promoting socialization and engagement.
