I am a self-employed clothing designer, mom to a small child, daughter of 2 elders on the east coast and owner of an 80 acre wilderness retreat center. My experience in PT was with babies/toddlers (birth - 3 y.o.) doing home visits for Early Intervention. That experience is similar to senior care in that there is a larger picture to be aware of and incorporate into care (home setup, family, individual needs and capacity.)
