Summary
All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Consuela Marshall as guest to the show.
About Consuela Marshall OT, CHAT, CDP CAPS, CGCP:
Consuela Marshall is an occupational therapist with over 30 years of experience in hospitals, rehabilitation, and home health. Her path to occupational therapy began after her daughter was born with a physical disability, inspiring her to return to college and pursue a profession that would equip her to better support her child and others.
Over the years, Consuela's personal caregiving journey deepened as she cared for an aunt with Alzheimer's and later her mother after multiple strokes—experiences that revealed both the rewards and emotional strain of caregiving.
About Finding a Foothold:
In 2022, she founded Finding A Foothold Caregiver Consulting to provide education and coaching that help family caregivers reduce injury risks, simplify daily tasks, and stay connected to their own lives.
In 2025, she expanded her mission by establishing the Finding A Foothold Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fall prevention and caregiver support in underserved communities.
Consuela is also the author of Fall Prevention: Planning Not to Fall and a frequent speaker on aging, fall prevention, and caregiving.
