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.
