We begin our services with an initial comprehensive assessment. This is done in the client’s home environment and takes about 2 to 4 hours.

After the assessment we can provide you with a variety of resources to encourage independence, wellness, safety and overall quality of life.

A member of our intake team will discuss with you your individual needs and goals.
