What Makes Us Different
Patient-Centered Care
Home Foundations Occupational Therapy was formed on the basis of serving people, not insurance companies and unnecessary paperwork. With a background in Home Healthcare, I've seen and taught people how to improve their environments and safety, AFTER a fall or injury. I desire to help older adults gain this information BEFORE a fall or injury occurs, helping older adults, in Chautauqua County, live as safely, and independently as possible, in their own homes.

Our Owner & Occupational Therapist
Brittany Paterniti, OTR/L
During my experience working in home healthcare, I found a desire to serve clients in a more holistic, client-centered way, that would help them prevent falls/injuries before they occur. I want to be able to provide services that are not limited by insurance companies, but that could truly help people without limits, being primarily driven by the client's needs, not paperwork.
Many older adults wish to stay in their own homes as they age, and I want to share my knowledge and experience with them, so they can do it safely and with confidence.
