There is a HUGE need for rehab professionals like you to support Aging in Place.
Homes were not built to support mobility impairments and your clients are struggling to find the support they need to stay at home.
Less than 1% of today’s homes are wheelchair accessible. A meager 5% can accommodate someone with a moderate mobility impairment. Many “retirement” homes aren’t even set up to be accessible. Many families turn to contractors for expensive remodels only to learn later down the road that the modifications didn’t fulfill all of the client’s needs.
Whether dealing with an elderly patient or someone who just had surgery and has restricted weightbearing, all clinicians need some baseline info on recommendations for improved independence and safety at home. You hold the key to matching specific client abilities and values with environmental challenges – and creating a long-term solution for sustained independence. This FREE training will guide you through.
Today’s best practices for home assessments: they’re so much more than just a checklist!
How to increase independence and prevent falls.
GETTING PAID! Understand when and how to bill for your services.
As a rehab clinician, you have a unique skillset that provides a valuable platform for performing safety assessments and recommending home modifications. The research is in! This evidence-based framework helps you to prevent falls, improve independence, and keep your clients at home – where they want to be.

Kara Welke, OTD, OTR/L, CLT, CAPS, SHSS, has had a wide variety of experiences and has worked with pediatrics through geriatrics in various settings. She even ventured away from traditional occupational therapy for a few years and had the privilege of starting an Early Head Start program from the ground up and was the director of the EHS program. Kara taught in an OTA program as well as served as the academic fieldwork coordinator for approximately 8 years. In order to provide client-centered, occupation-based, and evidence-based practice, Kara started her own Mobile Hybrid Practice to help older adults age in place in 2018. This business has grown significantly over the years, and she now has over 15 employees and contractors providing a wide array of services. Her business not only has its own client population, but they also provide services to other agencies and businesses. Due to the lack of resources for helping therapy professionals start their own business, Kara created the Next Level Occupational Therapy Facebook group. It was through this group that it became apparent that all therapy professionals needed assistance in starting their own business and that is when the Therapy Business Builder program was started. Kara has helped hundreds of therapists get to the next level in their career through her programs.
