SUMMARY:Live Webinar ~ Home Fit: Specialized Aging In Place for Ease\, Speed\, Safety and Independence
DESCRIPTION:LIVE WEBINAR – May 20\, 2025 \nPresented by: Tina Baucher\, MSOT\, OTR/L & Christie Stouffer\, CAPS\, Project Manager for Creative Housing Creative Renovations\n2.0 Contact Hours \nFall Prevention Programs have 4 key elements and Home assessments/home modifications are considered in the top 4 by the CDC! What do OTPs do best- fit the environment to the person to be independent! The baby boom generation has many choices as this large population of potential clients for remodelers\, builders\, contractors and occupational therapists considers where to live – but overwhelmingly\, seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. Make your clients’ homes more “visitable.” Even if the home owners don’t think they need additional task lighting\, grab bars\, and other home modifications for their own use\, their family members and visitors might. CAPS and OTPs together help you help your clients make the right choices. Aging-in-place means living in your home safely\, independently and comfortably\, regardless of age or ability level. It addresses the need to remodel existing homes and design new homes\, so that people can age in place and not have to move to assisted-living facilities as they age. The economics of aging-in-place modifications are a no-brainer. In addition to the economics\, consider the psychological impact of being uprooted from your community\, familiar rituals\, independence and privacy.. \nRegister Here
