Welcome to PNW Home for Life

At PNW Home for Life, we believe aging isn’t something to endure—it’s something to live with strength, dignity, and connection. We’re here to help people stay in the place they love most: home. Through compassionate occupational and physical therapy, we focus on movement, safety, comfort, and purpose. We work with individuals and families to solve real challenges so daily life feels safer, easier, and more joyful. Whether it’s optimizing your home, building strength, or supporting care partners, we meet you where you are. Here, you don’t just adapt to aging—you thrive through it, surrounded by care, respect, and heart. We work with you in your home!

Client Testimonials

Connie saw Ron twice a week and he enjoyed working with her. He looked forward to the games she chose to help him gain his mental and physical goals. Her patience and caring showed at all times. She made their time seem like play and not work.

Peggy F..

PNW Home for Life provided wonderful help for us during my wife’s long fight with PSP. From modifications to our home, help acquiring appropriate wheelchairs to much needed moral support, we looked forward their visits. I highly recommend as you will get the best possible support.

Dennis T..

Connie has been really helpful with in-home OT for us — great exercises for both mind and body. She keeps our loved one engaged and is able to motivate him to keep thinking and moving. I can highly recommend her!

Valya C..

I became Connie’s patient to help me with balance as I have had a series of falls. She knows what she is doing as an OT. Always very cheerful and encouraging. I haven’t had any recent falls which to me means the OT is working. We look forward to her weekly visits and are thankful for her care.

Jeannette.

All I want to know is how come I didn’t know about her sooner? She has been a Godsend pre-surgery and post-surgery!
