Our Story

Since 1997, LiveOakMed has worked to help older adults and those with disabilities remain independent and safe in their own homes. We provide strategies and products to meet their specific needs. Our experienced team is here to empower caregivers to reach their full caregiving potential.

Growing up, I acted as a caregiver for several of my loved ones. I learned first hand that just one assistive device can make all the difference. We hope LiveOakMed can provide that device and make the challenging caregiving role just a little bit easier.

We are continually studying home modification, assistive design, and gerontechnology to enhance your independent living. With the application of universal design fundamentals and cutting edge technology, your home can become fully supportive of your specific needs.

LiveOakMed is certified by the University of Southern California National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification and the National Association of Home Builders. Both certifications have provided our team the resources, knowledge, and applied experience to assess one's specific needs.
