About Opt2Restore
Opt2Restore is a rehabilitation-led practice providing in-home physical therapy, care transition support, home safety assessments, and aging-in-place services. Our approach is designed to improve mobility, reduce fall risk, and support long-term independence.
Who We Are
Opt2Restore integrates clinical mobility expertise with home safety and environmental design to improve function, reduce fall risk, and support long-term independence.
Bridging the Gap
We bridge the gap between healthcare discharge and real-world living environments—helping individuals, families, and organizations reduce preventable risk, support safer transitions, and promote dignified aging in place.
Based in New York, Opt2Restore provides in-home physical therapy, home safety assessments, and aging-in-place support across Long Island, including Nassau County and Suffolk County, as well as New York City.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to restore wellness, empower independence, and reduce preventable risk through rehabilitation-informed environmental strategy. We help individuals remain safe, independent, and confident at every stage of life.
How We Work
Our Approach
Our work integrates clinical mobility expertise with environmental safety strategy. We evaluate how mobility limitations interact with home and community environments, aligning functional needs with thoughtful accessibility planning and rehabilitation-informed design decisions.
Through this integration, we help create environments that actively support recovery, safety, and dignified aging.

Founder & Principal Consultant
At a Glance
Dr. Comfort Uwadiae is the founder of Opt2Restore LLC, a rehabilitation-led aging-in-place, care transition, and home modification consulting practice serving Long Island and the greater New York region. She works with families navigating a new diagnosis, older adults determined to remain in the homes they love, and the hospitals, care managers, and organizations who serve them.
Her recommendations are grounded in uncommon clinical depth: more than 14 years and nearly 30,000 patient encounters across acute critical care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient services, home-based care, and private practice. A former clinical instructor at Montefiore Hospital, she remains in active practice through Catholic Health, so the guidance she brings into clients’ homes reflects the realities of today’s healthcare, not yesterday’s.

Her path began as a physical therapy aide, raised in a family of nurses, case managers, social workers, and physicians. That foundation shaped a career-defining conviction: recovery doesn’t end at discharge. It succeeds or fails at home.
Dr. Uwadiae is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist (CEAS), and a graduate of USC’s Executive Certificate in Home Modification program (ECHM). Her design philosophy favors thoughtfully integrated, non-institutional solutions that keep a house feeling like home.
She is the creator of the Opt2Restore™ C.A.R.E. Model, a framework for safer care transitions, environmental risk reduction, and long-term independence, and has presented at venues ranging from Long Island community and professional programs to the 2026 NAIPC x ASA National Conference. She is also the founder of Opt Physical Therapy Rehabilitation PLLC, a mobile in-home physical therapy practice accepting Medicare and private pay, where she personally treats medically complex patients across Long Island.
“A home should never be the reason someone loses their independence. My work is making sure it never is.”
Grounded in Family, Community & Purpose
Beyond her work, Dr. Uwadiae treasures family, community, and time in nature. She enjoys traveling, ice skating, and sharing her love of baking, and serves in volunteer and leadership roles in her local school community.
