🔹SERVICE MODEL🔹
I provide concierge private pay support services for families and individuals who want to live safely, comfortably, and independently at home.
Eligible projects may be supported by VA Grants, Tribal Grants, or Medicaid Waivers. I do not accept Medicare. Adaptable Abodes Design Services go well beyond the scope of what Medicare covers.
By operating primarily as private pay, I am able to offer high-touch, personalized services - without rushing, cutting corners, or limiting the scope of what clients truly need.
Investing in an OT-led home assessment before you’re in crisis isn’t a luxury - it’s smart planning.

What I Provide
I offer services that help families plan ahead, adapt their homes, and feel confident about next steps.
I guide clients through the healthcare system, explain options, provide vetted referrals, and offer strategies to advocate for needed services and support.
I collaborate with builders, designers, and medical equipment providers, and maintain a trusted network of senior-focused professionals - including elder law attorneys, placement advisors, real estate agents, and home care agencies - so every part of your plan is covered.
Note: I do not provide ongoing in-home therapy treatments. That care is best delivered by a Medicare Part B occupational therapist through a home health agency.
Credentials
In addition to being a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT/L), I hold advanced certifications:
Medicare Clarification
Medicare Part A covers people who are homebound and receiving skilled care. OT cannot be the sole discipline. Medicare visits are typically brief, less flexible, and assigned rather than chosen.
Medicare Part B functions like outpatient therapy at home.
If you specifically need a Medicare Part B in-home OT, check Medicare’s Care Compare and call local Home Health agencies individually to see if they offer Part B Mobile Home OT.
FYI
Home Care (private pay) usually means non-medical support such as caregivers, aides, or companion services.
Home Health (Medicare) provides skilled medical services like nursing or therapy in the home - and requires a doctor’s order to qualify.
Adaptable Abodes Design Services go well beyond the scope of what Medicare covers.
What Medicare Does and Does Not Cover:
Medicare may cover a few durable medical items, such as a walker or basic wheelchair, typically every five years and only when prescribed by a doctor.
Medicare Does Not Cover:
Home remodels (e.g., widening doorways, ramps, roll-in showers)
Grab bars or safety rails
Shower chairs, bath benches, or handheld shower heads
Stair lifts, ceiling lifts, or hospital beds used for comfort
Smart home upgrades or fall-prevention modifications
Long-term caregiver support (e.g., bathing, dressing, meal prep)
Assisted living or long-term housing costs
