Helping older adults age with dignity and live independently for as long as possible.

Monday Motivation.

In my practice, I am reminded daily that independence is built one small win at a time, every effort counts, even when progress feels slow.

Happy World Occupational Therapy Day!

Today we celebrate a profession that’s so close to my heart, Occupational Therapy!

As an OT, I have the privilege of helping older adults stay independent, safe, and connected to the things that make life meaningful. Whether it’s finding new ways to do daily tasks, making homes safer, or keeping minds and bodies active.

Our elderly community has so much wisdom and strength, and it’s an honour to help them keep doing what they love.

Here’s to all the amazing OTs out there making a difference every day and to our clients who inspire us to keep learning, adapting, and caring.

"Aging is not fading, it's flourishing in full color." - Welcome June
proof that it's never too late to bloom!

Let this be a month of laughter, connection, and living beautifully at every age.

“My wife still holds my hand when we walk — even if I’m rolling.”
Mobility is not just physical, it’s emotional too.
It means sharing sunrises, shopping for dinner, laughing at grandkids — together.
Let’s honour every form of movement that keeps love and life going.

Many think using a wheelchair makes your world smaller.
But for Mrs. Jacobs, it made hers bigger.
With a chair that fit, she started going to church again, visiting friends, even painting in the sun.
Independence looks different for everyone — but it always starts with the right support.

23/05/2025

She’s not confined to a wheelchair — she’s empowered by it.
With the right support, this chair helped her garden again, attend her book club, and hold her grandchild with ease.
Mobility isn't about what you've lost — it's about everything you can still do.
Let’s reframe the way we talk about aging and independence.

21/05/2025

To someone who’s lost mobility, a wheelchair represents freedom, choice, and dignity.
Care for it like you would care for a trusted companion.
Oil the wheels, check the frame, wipe down the arms.
Because mobility isn’t just about movement — it’s about living.

A poorly fitting wheelchair can cause back pain, circulation problems, or posture issues.
Feet should touch the footplates, elbows rest comfortably, and the person should feel supported — not swallowed.

OT assessments can adjust or recommend better-suited chairs.
Let’s fit the chair to the person, not the other way around.

16/05/2025

The #1 overlooked safety hazard on a wheelchair? The brakes.
Test them weekly: they should lock firmly and not wobble.
Falls often happen when brakes slip at transfer time.
Keep independence safe — one brake check at a time.

Wheelchair cushions aren’t just for comfort — they prevent pressure injuries.
Swap or rotate cushions every few months and check for signs of wear.
If a senior complains of pain or fidgeting often, it’s a red flag.
A small adjustment now could prevent a hospital visit later.
