Meet the Founder

Kelly Markiewitz, PT, CAPS

Owner of Wise Transitions · Advocate for Senior Living · Independent Consultant

After 27 years of experience in physical therapy practice, I realized that families have limited information when making important decisions about senior living. They often choose settings that don't match the needs of their family members. As a result, those people have poor experiences with rehabilitation and care.

I have cared for clients with neurological conditions such as stroke, head trauma, orthopedic conditions including hip/knee replacement, amputation, and generalized weakness. As a neurologist in a large teaching hospital, I was responsible for coordinating physical therapy care programs in intensive care units, step-down units, acute rehabilitation, and outpatient settings.

I recently earned my certification as a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). So if staying at home seems like a possible solution, I can evaluate home safety and offer detailed home modification recommendations to create a safe environment for aging in place.
