Who I work with

Two people usually make the call

The adult child

You've noticed changes in your parent and you're not sure what they add up to. Advice is coming from every direction and none of it fits your situation. You want someone who will look at the whole picture and tell you plainly what your options are.

The older adult

Something has shifted. Maybe there was a fall or a new diagnosis, or maybe things have just gotten harder than they used to be. You want to stay in your home and keep making your own decisions, and you'd like practical help doing that.

Hi!

I'm Shira.

With 17+ years of experience as an Occupational Therapist working with older adults, I help families navigate the challenges that come with aging. I'm experienced, but I keep things simple.

My goal is to support safety, independence, dignity, and quality of life while giving families greater confidence and peace of mind.

  • Home Safety & Aging in PlacePractical recommendations to help older adults remain safe and independent at home.

You don't have to figure it all out alone.

And your children don't have to do it all either.

Get in touch

Tell me what's going on

We'll discuss your family's needs and how I can help. WhatsApp is usually fastest. The form reaches the same inbox if you would rather write it all out.

Send a message

I read every message myself. You will hear back from me, not an assistant.

A sentence or two is plenty. Please leave out medical record numbers and anything you would not want in an email.
