More about Melba Ramirez
Melba Ramirez is a Certified Occupational Therapist who graduated from the National University of Colombia with a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy in 1988. Throughout her career, Melba has widened her experience working in a variety of settings and with diverse age populations including inpatient rehab, outpatient services, home health services, and skilled nursing facilities.
As an Occupational Therapist, her current primary field of care focuses on providing individualized interventions to clients, families, and caregivers to promote independence and safety in the areas of Activities of Daily Living known as ADLs and providing clients with education regarding healthy lifestyles to optimize the aging process and to maximize function.
To advance her knowledge and enhance her practice Melba pursued several certifications including CAPS (Certified Aging in Place Specialist) with the main goal of helping people of all ages to remain in their homes as they age and as they experience physical limitations due to aging processes, chronic conditions and unexpected injuries.
Melba enjoys educating clients, families, and communities about strategies that can help them to maintain their independence, mobility, and function by increasing their awareness and understanding of how nutrition and levels of physical activity can influence either positively or negatively their cognitive and physical performance as they age.
As her main goal is to help people to maintain their independence and safety, she founded her company Design for Independence LLC focusing on providing home modifications and adaptations to allow them to age in place for as long as they can. This model allows her to bring and integrate her training and knowledge as an Occupational Therapist right there, at the heart of her client’s and families’ homes!
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, dancing, traveling, praying, and worshiping God. She is looking forward to continuing to serve her family, clients, and her community.
