Alaena Bateman, OTR/L
Before discovering the occupational therapy profession, I cared for my grandparents as they aged and experienced new diagnoses and decline in health and function. I wish I could have provided them with the invaluable tools and knowledge that I later acquired through my occupational therapy education. Through the power of OT, we can help seniors regain their independence, improve their quality of life, and live comfortably in their own homes.
I founded Fireweed Therapy LLC to provide OT services to seniors in Alaska in their own home environments. I have completed specialized training in CVA rehab, dementia care, and home adaptations to better serve your unique needs. Additionally, I hold a certification as a PWR!Moves therapist, which means I am equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques to support those with Parkinson's disease on their journey towards wellness. I am actively participating in continuing education to further my knowledge and stay up to date with the latest clinical evidence.
Aging can bring unique challenges, and I am committed to working with each individual to identify their specific needs and develop a personalized plan of care. Whether you are a senior seeking assistance in your daily activities or a family member looking for the best possible care for your loved one, I am here to provide the compassionate and skilled support that you need.
