PREPARING YO​U AN​D YOUR HOME FOR THE FUTURE

"According to AARP, nearly 90% of aging adults want to age-in-place.  However, 85% have done NOTHING to prepare their homes for aging." 


Functional Living Concepts works one-on-one with seniors and their families to offer safe home solutions, fall prevention education and therapeutic exercise programs that incorporate your environment as an integral part of achieving health and wellness.


Serving Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod

Who we help



We serve individuals who:

  • Are beginning to experience difficulty in their daily routines. 
  • Have exhausted their insurance benefits but require ongoing assistance.
  • Seek an adjunct to current therapy services.
  • Desire to maintain current level of function after therapy discontinues.
  • Recognize a gradual or rapid decline over time.

What we Offer

We offer a variety of services including:

  • Customized home safety assessments
  • Daily activity routines to simplify/increase activity
  • Quality of life recommendations/strategies 
  • Fall prevention education
  • Community referrals 
  • Caregiver education 
  • Home exercise programs


HOME SA​FETY

We specialize in identifying current or potential obstacles within your home and offer solutions that balance the ease of physical function, aesthetics, and cost. We'll show you how to adapt your living space to help you get around your home safely with increased independence.  Making a few small adjustments can be the difference between living a sedentary lifestyle with feelings of fear versus living confidently free from worry.

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE

Therapeutic exercises are designed to treat particular problems such as injuries, decreased muscle function, impaired skeletal function, minimized flexibility, strength, and endurance.

We emphasize the importance of balance exercises that strengthen the muscles that keep you from falling.  We work with neurological conditions including Strokes and Parkinsons, joint replacements, arthritis, respiratory and cardiac conditions.  


HOW TO IDEN​TIFY A CHANGE IN FUNCTION

Signs of a decline can be subtle. More than half of falls go unreported and are not recognized by family.  The more we know and understand the more we can help. Here are some signs of a possible functional decline in either mental or physical health:

  • Limited Mobility
  • Loss of Personal Hygiene
  • Slowing Down
  • Unsteady Balance and Falling
  • Weight Loss
  • Withdrawing from Hobbies or Interests
  • Mood Changes
  • Forgetfulness
  • General Weakness
  • Difficulty Managing Medication
  • Unkempt House
  • Unable to Manage Finances

BELIEVING PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

It's always better to prevent an illness rather than treat it after it happens.  And while some factors are out of our control, there are many important risk factors that are within our power to change.  By preventing problems, or identifying them early, you are more likely to live a longer, healthier, and more satisfying life.
