Have you noticed that a parent, partner, or loved one is:

• Moving slower than before?
• Having difficulty getting around the house?
• Worried about falls?
• Struggling with stairs, bathing, or daily activities?
• Returning home after a hospitalization or health setback?

Sometimes it’s hard to know what support is needed or where to start.

That’s why we’re introducing a 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 + 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Together, we look at both:

🚶 Mobility & physical function (Physiotherapy)
🛋️ Home safety & daily living (Occupational Therapy)

After the assessment, families receive a clear, easy-to-understand 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 that answers:

✔ How safe is home right now?
✔ What are the biggest risks?
✔ What level of independence is currently present?
✔ What should we prioritize first?
✔ What can improve quality of life?

You’ll leave with one assessment, one report, and one action plan.

Designed for:
• Older adults
• Individuals wanting to age safely at home
• Post-hospital transitions
• People living with mobility challenges
• Families looking for guidance and peace of mind

🚶‍♂️ Falls Are NOT a Normal Part of Aging

Many older adults begin to reduce activity after a fall, near-fall, or hospitalization. Unfortunately, less movement can quickly lead to:

Weakness
Poor balance
Reduced confidence
Increased falls risk
Loss of independence

The good news?
Research shows that targeted exercise, balance training, and early mobility support can significantly reduce falls risk and help older adults remain active and independent longer.

Some early warning signs to watch for:
✔ Holding onto furniture while walking
✔ Difficulty getting out of a chair
✔ Slower walking speed
✔ Fear of falling
✔ Avoiding stairs or community activities

As a Physiotherapist focused in older adult care, I provide in-home physiotherapy and mobility assessments across HRM to help older adults move safely and confidently in their own environment.

• Greater emotional well-being and lower depression rates⁴,⁵

𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 are a bigger deal than most people think.
They are the leading cause of injury, disability, and even death in older adults — yet they’re often brushed off as “just a fall.”

That’s exactly why I launched my 𝑰𝒏-𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆 and why working with older adults is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I provide services to older adults right in their homes across 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒂𝒙 (and surrounding HRM) to improve balance, strength, and confidence so they can 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔. My approach also focuses on reducing real-life fall risks in the spaces people actually live in, using evidence from fall prevention and healthy aging related to my 𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒉𝑫 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌, and applying these strategies through practical, one-on-one care.

If you or someone you care about has had a slip or near-fall, or is feeling unsteady and unsure about their ability to stay independent at home, feel free to reach out or send me a message.
