Fiona Campbell is a highly experienced Senior Occupational Therapist passionate about enabling seniors to live safely and independently in their own homes. Trained in Glasgow and registered with the HCPC, she has spent two decades conducting home assessments and prescribing adaptations ranging from simple grab rails to complex wet room conversions. Fiona has a unique specialism in sensory impairment, helping individuals with glaucoma, macular degeneration, and hearing loss adapt their environments through lighting and digital aids. She is also a qualified driving mobility assessor, providing honest and legal advice on maintaining a driving licence past the age of 70. Her expertise encompasses the latest assistive technologies, including fall detectors, smart watches, and automated home systems, evaluating them for genuine utility versus marketing hype. Fiona's approach is deeply practical; she understands the emotional resistance to 'medicalising' a home and focuses on stylish, discreet solutions that preserve dignity. She guides readers through the bureaucracy of local council grants and social services, ensuring they access the support they are entitled to. Her mission is to prove that with the right adjustments, autonomy can be maintained well into the later years.
