In 1990, Barbara Purdy’s Mom was dying of cancer, and Barbara was exhausted by her role as a caregiver.
As an expert Occupational Therapist, Barbara knew that assistive devices were available to help her Mom, but was frustrated by the difficulty in obtaining them. How would an average person know what to look for, let alone get it?
Her Mom’s passing was the inspiration to begin Free to Be™ as a resource for people in similar situations.
Today Barbara works with adult children as they struggle to cope with their aging parents.
Barbara helps you find answers to:
“Dad had a stroke – what can we do?”
