All About AskSAMIE
Everywhere we worked as occupational therapists we kept running into the same problem: inability to connect the dots to get people the equipment they needed, installed and setup in a timely manner - primarily because the things we know work aren't covered by health insurance.
We developed AskSAMIE to make the information and solutions readily available so aging in place would be possible for anyone!
