Kathryn attended Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, achieving her degree, Masters in Science of Physical Therapy, in 2003. Kathryn gained professional experience at one of the then top rated sub-acute hospitals in the country at Kessler Institute, now called Select Medical, in New Jersey.
Since moving to Delaware in 2006, she has become an integral part of the rehabilitation community here in Sussex County in the private practice domain, directing two clinics, and also in home care physical therapy. Now, Kathryn has also become a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) and a Certified Environmental Access Consultant (CEAC). She has currently directed her professional ambition in becoming the premier fall prevention and independent living expert in Delaware through in-home Physical Therapy and home modification services. She started her own company “Aging in Place Specialists, LLC,” with the mission of empowering and equipping senior individuals with the services, knowledge, assistive technology, and home modifications needed to live well at home more safely and independently.
In January of 2015, Kathryn was invited to be a speaker and discussion panelist at the Annual LIFE Conference in Dover Delaware, joining two other distinguished voices in the field of aging in place and accessibility. Kathryn and her company have also been published in “PT in Motion,” a national publication of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) in 2016.
Kathryn’s goal is to pioneer the pathway to successful aging in place in Delaware- improving quality of life, enabling independent living, and collaborating efforts to decrease the likelihood of the aged entering long term care facilities. Kathryn resides in Lewes Delaware with her husband, Mark, and two sons, Landon and Noah.
