Capable At Home Specialists:
Your Path to Safe & Comfortable Living at Home
About Us: We are dedicated to promoting wellness and independence for individuals in their homes. Our core service involves occupational therapists conducting comprehensive home safety assessments.

We aim to provide "a path to safe, accessible, and comfortable living at home" by offering barrier removal, custom interventions, and emergency preparedness guidance. Ultimately, our services strive to decrease health decline, reduce falls, and increase safety, independence, engagement, and overall quality of life for our clients.

What is
Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a client-centered practice that focuses on helping individuals achieve independence in daily activities through therapeutic techniques and interventions. Unlike Physical Therapy (PT), which primarily aims to improve whole-body function and mobility, OT emphasizes enhancing a person's ability to perform everyday tasks, such as dressing, cooking, and working. Occupational Therapists work with clients to develop personalized strategies that promote their overall well-being and quality of life. By addressing both physical and cognitive challenges, OT plays a crucial role in enabling individuals to engage meaningfully in their daily lives.
