Meet Cyndi
Hi, I’m Cyndi Hunter, founder of Guided Independence.
After more than a decade working as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L) and visiting over 10,000 homes, I’ve seen what truly helps older adults thrive at home—and what’s missing.
Yes, physical safety and mobility matter. But what stood out the most was something deeper:
Too many people were aging alone in the process.
• Discharged from the hospital or rehab with paperwork but no direction
• Families overwhelmed and unsure where to start
• Confusing advice from different professionals, but no one to tie it all together
That’s why I created Guided Independence:
To bridge the gap between what people are told to do—and what they’re actually supported in doing.
I offer personalized coaching, in-home safety consultations, and practical tools that empower older adults and their families to make aging at home not just possible—but purposeful.
Aging doesn’t have to mean losing independence.
With the right support, it can be a chapter of clarity, connection, and control.
Let’s walk this path together.
