Finding Foothold LLC is the professional education and consulting branch of Finding A Foothold Foundation—helping organizations, professionals, and families prevent falls, reduce caregiver injuries, and create safer environments for older adults.
Empowering Safer Aging and Sustainable Caregiving
For more than 30 years, Consuela Marshall, OT, CHAT, CAPS, CDP, CGCP, has helped older adults and caregivers stay safe, independent, and confident at home. Through Finding Foothold LLC, she provides professional speaking, consulting, and training services that transform prevention knowledge into practical action.
Her work blends clinical insight with compassion—helping older adults remain in their homes safely and independently for as long as possible. She also equips family caregivers with the education and strategies they need to prevent burnout and injury, work more efficiently, and support loved ones living with physical or cognitive changes, including dementia.
Workshops & Webinars for Family Caregivers.
(Finding A Foothold Foundation focuses on community outreach to underserved communities in the greater Baton Rouge area. Finding Foothold LLC extends these services to families and organizations throughout Louisiana and beyond.)
Caring for an aging loved one can feel overwhelming, especially when their needs begin to change.
Finding Foothold LLC offers live and virtual workshops to help family caregivers gain confidence, protect their own health, and support loved ones safely at home.
Each session turns complex caregiving challenges into practical, realistic steps — from learning safe ways to assist with bathing or transfers to recognizing when a home or care plan needs to be adapted.
Our two-part caregiver sessions provide a supportive space to ask questions, learn hands-on strategies, and connect with others who understand what you’re facing.

For Healthcare & Academic Professionals
Occupational therapy plays a vital role in helping older adults remain independent and preventing caregiver injury—yet many professionals (including physicians, surgeons) and students don’t encounter these topics until after a fall or crisis has occurred.
Through Finding Foothold LLC, Consuela Marshall, OT, CHAT, CAPS, CDP, CGCP, partners with healthcare providers, university programs, and senior-care teams to strengthen awareness and early intervention skills.
She helps medical professionals, social service providers, and students recognize when to recommend OT services, integrate fall-prevention and caregiver-safety education into care planning, and understand the environmental and behavioral factors that influence independence and recovery.

Consuela is available for professional speaking and consulting opportunities that inspire action and build awareness around falls prevention, maximizing safe independence in aging, caregiver well-being, and community health.

She especially enjoys sharing guidance and encouragement with caregivers supporting loved ones through dementia and stroke recovery, two areas that have profoundly shaped her own journey and professional focus.
Whether addressing healthcare providers, senior organizations, or academic programs, her sessions center on real-world solutions for safer, more sustainable aging in the home and caregiving — helping participants leave informed, encouraged, and ready to make meaningful change.

Why It Matters.
Behind every presentation, consultation, or workshop is a simple goal — to help people live safely and age with dignity. Too often, our healthcare system, families, and professionals react after a crisis has already happened. My work focuses on preventing those moments — giving caregivers and older adults the tools, confidence, and awareness to make safer choices sooner.
Through decades of clinical practice and personal caregiving, I’ve seen how one change — one conversation — can transform a family’s entire journey.
That’s why I’m passionate about bringing this message forward wherever it’s needed most.
Finding Foothold LLC works in collaboration with Finding A Foothold Foundation to extend education, outreach, and safety resources to families and organizations.
