I am a Licensed Occupational Therapist with over 24 years of experience specializing in geriatrics and complex medical conditions. For the past 9 years, I've provided private caregiving, companionship, occupational therapy, and medical care management, helping older adults remain safe, independent, and engaged at home. I offer much more than traditional caregiving by coordinating medical care, managing medications, communicating with physicians and therapists, attending appointments, identifying changes in health, preventing falls, recommending home safety solutions, and providing personalized therapeutic activities. My OT background allows me to recognize problems early and advocate for my clients. Families describe me as compassionate, dependable, and proactive. I treat every client like family and am committed to providing exceptional, one-on-one care that gives loved ones confidence and peace of mind.

    Dayna has worked with special needs in senior care for 10+ years and patients often think of her as a granddaughter due to her kind heart and attentive care. She is outstanding in her communication and building long-term relationships. I highly recommend!!
