The Missing Link in Senior Care
How Senior Life Coaching Fills the Gap Between Therapy and Caregiving
Why Families Need More Than Just Therapy and Caregiving to Help Their Aging Loved Ones Thrive
As an Occupational Therapist,
I have spent years working with seniors, helping them regain independence after an illness or injury. But time and time again, I saw the same frustrating gap when it came time to discharge a client from therapy.
They were "functional" enough to no longer need therapy, but they weren’t fully confident in maintaining their daily routines, purpose, and independence on their own. Many families then turned to caregiving services—but traditional caregiving focuses on assistance, not empowerment.
The Missing Link: Senior Life Coaching
So what happens when therapy ends but a senior still needs guidance, support, and structure?
That’s where senior life coaching fills the gap.
The Differences Between Therapy, Caregiving, and Senior Life Coaching
Service
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Caregiving
Senior Life Coaching
Focus
Restoring function after injury or illness
Providing assistance with daily tasks
Empowering seniors with routines, cognitive activities, and life transitions
Who is it for?
Seniors recovering from illness, falls, or hospitalizations
Seniors who need hands-on help with mobility, hygiene, or meal prep
Seniors who don’t need medical care but need guidance, purpose, and structured support
Why Families Are Calling Me Instead of a Caregiver or Therapist?
Unlike Caregiving
I don’t just provide assistance. I provide guidance, tools, and empowerment.
Unlike Therapy
I don’t have to discharge a client when they’re no longer “skilled.”
