Diabetic Neuropathy can occur in all of the body’s organs, impacting the way in which individuals function safely in their homes. This impact can be due to issues such as sensation and vision loss as well as muscle weakness.  By educating our readers about diabetes' effects on the body, we hope to continue in our efforts to help the elderly population successfully age in place.  Read more >

About Me: 
I’m an occupational therapist and certified aging in place specialist. I have a passion for helping older adults remain functional and safe in their homes for as long as they are able. Your home is your oasis and being able to live their safely and independently is something to be treasured. I’ve worked with a lot of people in the hospital, nursing home, and home health settings because of falls that occurred in their homes. Falls can set someone back for a long time as well as make someone lose their confidence and peace of mind. Some modifications are costly and require greater resources, but, there are a lot of little things you can do to stay safe at home including installing grab bars in the bathroom and having proper lighting throughout the home.
