As a caregiver, have you been wondering how you can help the senior under your care to age in place successfully? In a study from AARP, more than 80% of adults said that they would prefer to age in place for as long as possible as they got older, rather than uprooting their lives and moving into institutionalized care. To keep it simple, aging in place refers to older adults living in the comfort and security of their own homes, rather than transitioning into a senior care facility. 

On this episode of The Purposeful Caregiver Podcast, Emily and Devon will talk about their work at Purposefully Home, their expertise as clinicians, the options that continue to open up for older people who want to age in place, and how Purposefully Home prides itself in facilitating better senior care by equipping caregivers with the necessary skills.

They will touch on topics such as:

• Everything about Purposefully Home - The boutique consulting and rehabilitation company.
• Emily’s expertise in working with people living with Dementia.
• Devon’s expertise in working seniors with orthopedic and neurological conditions.
• Tackling chronic pain in America and helping seniors navigate the aging process.
• Why they love contributing to the fall prevention coalition.
• Home Assessments: ADA standards do not apply to installation of grab bars in homes.
• How Purposefully Home seamlessly helps people age in place.

Are you a family caregiver? Do you struggle with how to take the best care for your loved one while managing your stress and time constraints? You are not alone.

Dr. Emily Reilly and Dr. Devon Turnbull are here to help. Emily is an occupational therapist while Devon is a physical therapist. They are the owners of Purposefully Home, a business they started to provide in-home care to older adults who want to age safely in place, while also supporting their caregivers with education and training.

They started The Purposeful Caregiver Podcast when they realized how often families struggle when caring for a loved one and lacked the proper resources to keep them thriving at home. Their goal is to provide families with information that will support and guide them through their current caregiving situation. 

On the podcast, Emily and Devon will talk about everything from the limitations of our current healthcare system to safely designing your home for dementia. They will also bring on a variety of expert caregivers and professionals alike about the challenges and joys of caregiving, and how they conquered burnout while maintaining a balanced life. Stay tuned for more!
