Services

Our most comprehensive package, the AgeWell Plan addresses the big questions that come with aging and future planning. "Do I need a home health aide?" "Does it make sense to move my bedroom to the ground floor?" "Would a stair glide or walk-in shower make life easier and safer?" "Is it time to transition to a wheelchair?" "Would working with a therapist help me feel stronger and keep me from falling?" We help you understand life's challenges in the context of your abilities, and the supports and barriers in your home environment, to find the answers. With an eye toward the current level of function and a time when limitations arise, this plan is grounded in our Treatment Triangle: occupational therapy; equipment; and home modification. 

Individual Package: $900 (*premium applies for spaces with high square footage)

• Functional evaluation of the client. The following areas are covered: salient health conditions; musculoskeletal conditions; balance, gait and mobility; fall history; chronic pain; cardiac and pulmonary health; endurance; sensory profile; functional cognition; mental health; and performance across the seven areas of occupation.

It is conducted through the lens of safe mobility, fall prevention, maximizing occupational performance now and in the future, enhancing enjoyment of spaces by the client as well as family and friends, and aesthetic beauty.

This includes a discussion of services to actualize the Plan, through Integrative Aging In Place occupational therapy and aging-in-place advisory, as well as disciplines including physical therapy, neurology, mental health professionals, and others.

Our HomeWell Plan is designed for individuals or pairs seeking expertise when planning home modifications aimed at aging in place, without the need of an evaluation of health and function. This package is suited to those who do not have any functional challenges presently, are not managing chronic conditions, and require consultation with an Aging In Place Advisor prior to starting a remodeling project. The HomeWell Plan report can be provided to the remodeling and/or architecture firm with whom the client is working. Alternatively, Integrative Aging In Place can facilitate work with preferred affiliates who specialize in aging-in-place design.

Standard Package: $600 (*premium applies for spaces with high square footage)

• HomeWell Plan report including supports and barriers in your environment; recommendations for equipment and/or home modifications to maximize independence and safety; referrals to affiliates and resources to get what you need. *This report assumes the client is high-functioning and does not include recommendations tailored to meet any needs unique to the individual.

Changes in the environment can yield big gains in how you function. Performing the same task with less pain, more safely, and more independently can translate to a major improvement in quality of life. What if taking a shower were a pleasure rather than a fall risk? What if you could do the hosting in the kitchen when family and friends come over? What if getting up and down the stairs was something to take for granted again? Most of us could drop a few pounds, get stronger and move a little better. But the bottom line is this: you're great just as you are. Modifying your environment can help you feel it. We conduct a thorough environmental evaluation - starting with the AgeWell or HomeWell Plan - and provide detailed recommendations for home modifications. Integrative Aging In Place works closely with our preferred affiliates in the fields of design and build and architecture.  We can also consult with the builder of your choice. 

Some home modifications are covered by Medicare, if a medical need can be demonstrated. Integrative Aging In Place participates in that evaluation process. Contact us to learn more. 

Aging well takes effort. Making the best efforts requires a trusted advisor. That is where Integrative Aging In Place comes in: identifying and helping you take the actions that will maximize health outcomes and wellbeing. Health promotion, as defined by the World Health Organization, means enabling an individual to increase control over, and improve, their health. Health is defined as complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Integrative Aging In Place helps you achieve wellbeing holistically, in the convenience of your home. We provide the following interventions: 

• Home exercise programs
• Balance training
• Pain management
• Cognitive rehabilitation 
• Positive habit change for wellbeing
• Task modification & training
• Family counseling for care-planning

Cost 

• $150 per one-hour session at your home

Occupational therapy serves those individuals who have experienced a health event within the past year such as a fall, hospitalization, or change in health or functional status. It applies to some cases in which the individual is managing one or more chronic conditions. Service is covered by Medicare and supplemental insurance. Initiation of service requires a referral from your primary care provider or appropriate specialist. Integrative Aging In Place can help obtain the script from your doctor to get the process started. Services are often provided at no cost to you. Interventions include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Common Health Conditions and Functional Challenges: Integrative Aging In Place treats individuals with many conditions that impact function and wellbeing. These include but are not limited to heart failure; coronary artery disease; hypertension; COPD; diabetes mellitus; peripheral neuropathy; osteoarthritis; chronic pain; degenerative joint disease and other spinal changes; CVA, late effect; Parkinson's disease; cognitive impairment; cancer; multiple sclerosis; ambulatory dysfunction; and balance impairment. Therapy addresses functional challenges including reduced activity tolerance and endurance; muscle weakness; sensation loss; decreased range of motion; fine motor deficits; difficulty transferring from sitting to standing and back or in and out of the tub; and difficulty navigating stairs. Therapy also focuses on task training to find ways to compensate for functional deficits - see below. 

• Dementia Care & Caregiver Training: Integrative Aging In Place is proudly affiliated with PhillyCare Coaching for the care of individuals living with dementia and caregiver training for those who walk alongside them. See  PhillyCare Coaching for more information or contact us to learn about this collaboration between aging in place services and dementia care. 

• Fall Prevention & Home Safety: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four adults 65 years old or older in the United States reports a fall each year; of those, 37% resulted in an injury requiring medical attention or that restricted activity for at least one day. We want to help you feel empowered, not afraid. Fall risk is not solely about balance or uneven sidewalks. Fall prevention entails an evaluation of multiple risk factors and then tailoring a plan to address those that apply to you. Don't wait for a fall before you start working to prevent it from happening. Let us work with you to develop that plan and keep you upright and fracture free. Integrative AIP conducts a fall risk assessment of balance, vision, attention, environment and other factors, and provides a report with recommendations for fall prevention. 

• Task Training: We assess how you perform a task in painstaking detail, without losing the bigger picture of what makes you feel fulfilled in life, and then help find ways to make doing that task easier. This is conducted in one or two ways: adapting how you do the task and/or adapting the environment in which you do it. If you have arthritis or spinal changes, for example, learning how to get dressed or take a shower with 50% less pain is a big deal. If you have depression and feel isolated because you can't get around as well as before, establishing routines for regular outings with assistance for mobility can be life-changing. We can help.

• Mobility Solutions: When presented with the image of someone wheeling their self across the street in the morning rush, it's natural for us to see "a person in a wheelchair." It takes a shift in thinking to see a person going to work just like everyone else, even if it looks different. Mobility is a means to an end. Going to the supermarket to... go shopping and then cook dinner. Going to a restaurant to... socialize with friends and enjoy leisure time. If getting there needs to happen without walking, you need experts to help find the best alternative. Not every manual wheelchair is the same. Power wheelchairs can be as sophisticated as a luxury car. Let Integrative AIP evaluate your needs and ensure you get the best option and the best fit.
