Aging in Santa Barbara

You may be surprised to learn home health agencies receive the most calls around the holidays. Adult children visiting their aging parents come away concerned about their parents’ safety at home.

As a local occupational therapist and certified aging in place specialist, I work to maximize safety and independence in the home for aging adults and to educate and support caregivers in our community.

I most commonly receive calls from families after a hospital visit, a traumatic experience, or an earth-shattering diagnosis. But I wish families were having these conversations much sooner.
