Aging presents unique challenges, often requiring home modifications to maintain safety and independence. With the COVID-19 pandemic highlighting risks in nursing facilities, many families are seeking alternatives to help their loved ones age in place. Adapt & Stay specializes in making homes safer and more functional, utilizing decades of Occupational Therapy expertise to assess functional strengths and needs, ensuring customized home modification recommendations.
As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), holder of an Executive Certificate in Home Modifications (ECHM), and active member of the Home Modification Occupational Therapy Alliance (HMOTA), Martha stays current with the latest research and best practices in home modifications nationwide. Her role goes beyond simple recommendations—she collaborates directly with contractors to ensure modifications not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate future changes due to medical conditions or mobility limitations.
With nearly three decades of experience working with the elderly in hospitals, home health care, long-term care, schools, and outpatient settings, Martha combines medical expertise with practical design solutions. This unique collaboration between healthcare knowledge and contractor execution results in home adaptations that are functional, safe, and built to accommodate evolving needs over time.
Even small modifications can extend independence, allowing individuals to remain in their homes longer than they may have expected. While skilled care or outside assistance may eventually be necessary, proactive home adjustments can significantly delay that need. Adapt & Stay is here to help make that goal a reality—providing expert guidance to ensure safety, comfort, and independence within the familiar surroundings of home.
