I met Jane during a critical transition to a power wheelchair that no longer fit my New York City apartment bathroom. She quickly identified the need to redesign the space for safe, independent wheelchair mobility and implemented practical, creative solutions that removed barriers and made safe transfer a reality. Her thoughtful problem-solving restored both function and confidence.

I was looking for a home accessibility specialist to help me age in place, but I had no idea where to begin. A friend recommended Jane after attending her workshop on fall prevention, and I’m so grateful for the referral. She conducted a thorough room-by-room safety audit, identifying potential hazards and offering practical solutions on the spot. She followed up with a detailed written report, which I found extremely helpful. Modifications were wonderfully simple yet effective—such as adding colored tape to create contrast on basement steps—while others involved specialized equipment that allows me to safely enter and exit my jacuzzi tub without having to remove it. She also rearranged my bedroom furniture to improve safety and accessibility while fully preserving the room’s aesthetic. Jane even recommended a highly competent contractor to install the equipment she suggested. Her knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind.
I highly recommend Jane to anyone looking to safely and comfortably age in place.

“Jane Tom entered our home as an experienced and caring occupational therapist and quickly became my sister. Jane sat with me to explore how aging in place might be possible for my father. Together, we developed a plan to ensure that my father, Bill, was safe, autonomous in making his decisions, and able to navigate his last chapter in life with grace. Thank you, Jane.”

"When my husband was released from the hospital with severe physical and cognitive disabilities after a near-fatal bout of septic shock following brain surgery, Jane Tom was his home-care occupational therapist. Her visits were invaluable. Her intelligent and empathetic assessments of his condition and her patience in teaching him skills required for his recovery made her semi-weekly visits a crucial part of his treatment. Although, sadly, he never recovered fully, the skills and techniques she taught him contributed significantly to his improvement, a partial recovery that allowed him several additional years of limited autonomy and full participation in family life. We are grateful for her dedication and recommend her highly."

"I broke my arm and my elbow and was in a cast pre and post surgery for 3 months. I could not imagine I would ever function fully again. Jane Tom gave me my life back. Her knowledge, encouragement and gentle humor went beyond any expectation I had from OT. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is amazing and then some."
