What We Offer
Virtual Home Safety Assessments to help you access the $20,000 B.C. Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations (BC RAHA)
Designed for ease - a comprehensive evaluation of how you move in your home and adaptation recommendations to help you remain independent for as long as possible.
What is included:
30 minute initial assessment either virtually or by phone.
60 minute video call supported by a trusted family member or friend who can move the cell phone camera through your home safely and effectively throughout the assessment. We will discuss your concerns in real time.
An assessment report will be emailed to you with clear recommendations so you have this for your BC RAHA application and for future reference.
As a Registered Occupational Therapist, Sandra takes a non-judgmental approach to assessing your home and daily activities (ADLs), identifying strengths, risks, and barriers to independence. Together, we will explore practical solutions to help prevent falls and support safe, independent living—while preserving your home’s aesthetics.
What to expect:
Goal Identification: During the initial assessment, we discuss your personal goals and any immediate safety concerns
Environmental Review: A detailed virtual walk-through to identify falls risks and suggest practical modifications, such as adding grab bars or handrails
Activity Analysis: An assessment of how you navigate your daily routines to improve or maintain your independence.
Professional Liaison: Recommendations for home adaptations and medical equipment providers are available as needed
*Assessments can be conducted in-person for clients located on the North Shore, as needed, for an additional fee.
Please note a discounted rate of $300 per assessment is provided as a courtesy for families applying for adaptations through the BC RAHA program. This is the maximum funded amount for the OT assessment portion and you will receive a rebate for this portion whether or not your application is approved.
Hourly Consulting
Our hourly consulting services offer flexible, professional guidance to help you navigate the complexities of aging and empowering your positive health potential.
Drawing on her clinical expertise and MBA background, Sandra provides strategic support to help families manage resources and liaise effectively within healthcare networks.
These sessions are designed to keep your personal goals in perspective while addressing needs as they arise.
Hourly consulting may include:
Family Services: Serving as a neutral, professional advocate to help seniors and their adult children align on care decisions and health goals.
Healthcare Navigation & Medical Equipment: Assistance with liaising between medical equipment providers, contractors, and other healthcare professionals in your support network.
Lifestyle & Change Management: Support for adapting to new health baselines or transitioning between different levels of care.
Legacy Planning Review: An overview of key essential documents, including Wills, Powers of Attorney, Representation Agreements and Advanced Directives and overall cost of care in BC so you and your family can make informed choices.
Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC) Support: If you are 65+, you may qualify for a non-refundable tax credit of $20,000 per year to help homeowners cover the costs of renovations to make their home more accessible and safer. As an Occupational Therapist we see things that others don’t, and our expert lens helps you get the most bang for your renovation buck.
Occupational Therapy services are approved medical expenses for your tax purposes. Extended health benefits may cover the cost of care - ask your provider about OT coverage. If not directly covered, services can be covered by any health spending account.
Hourly consulting is offered both at an hourly rate ($160-$200 sliding scale, anchor at $180) and also in discounted service bundles of 3-10 hours depending on individual needs.
