Erica provided us with in-home OT services from April through September 2026. The services were focused on my wife's ongoing rehabilitation and recovery from falls over the past four years resulting in broken bones, including two surgically repaired hips, and a less than successful non-surgical mending of her left arm and wrist, and, most recently, a still in process non-surgical mending of a broken humerus in her right arm. Erica provided personalized treatment and services based upon a clear assessment of my wife's physical and psychosocial strength and needs as manifest in the setting of our home and living with me. In addition to physical exercises and such, Erica helped us with identifying and making use of adaptive equipment, as well as providing counseling and support for my wife in selecting and engaging in activities of daily living that made her feel more independent and in control of her life (e.g., planning meal menus, ordering groceries, making salads while I cooked main courses, etc. ). In addition, Erica kept in close contact with my wife's PT so that he and Erica were working together even though they worked with us on different days. Finally, Erica worked with my wife and myself as a couple, with my attending and taking part in most of the therapy sessions, and helping to record and report on exercises and other activities in which we engaged between our weekly sessions with Erica and the PT.
