A Lifetime in Rehabilitation. A New Focus on Aging in Place.

Meet Dr. Mayra Alfonso, a physiatrist (PM&R physician) with over 30 years of clinical experience caring for adults with complex rehabilitation needs across the continuum of rehabilitation — from inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient practice to skilled nursing facilities, physician leadership, and now a physician-led practice dedicated to home safety and aging-in-place support.

Throughout her career, one goal has remained constant: helping people maximize mobility, function, safety, and independence. Today, she brings that same rehabilitation perspective directly into the homes of older adults, helping individuals and their families make thoughtful, practical decisions as they navigate the challenges of aging in place.

Dr. Mayra Alfonso earned her medical degree from Ponce Health Sciences University in 1992 and completed her residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Albany Medical Center in 1996. She is licensed to practice medicine in the State of Florida and has maintained an active medical practice for over 30 years.

A Unique Perspective Forged in Experience

For more than eight years, Dr. Alfonso has served as a physician leader in skilled nursing facilities, working closely with older adults recovering from illness, injury, surgery, and functional decline. Combined with more than 30 years of experience across inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient practice, and physician leadership, this has given her a unique perspective on the challenges older adults face as they transition through different stages of care.

These experiences inspired the creation of her physician-led home safety and aging-in-place practice, where she helps individuals and their families make practical decisions that support mobility, safety, and independence at home.

Why I Created This Practice

After more than 30 years in rehabilitation medicine, I recognized that many families needed something that traditional healthcare often couldn’t provide: dedicated time to observe how an older adult functions in the home, understand the practical challenges they face every day, and help families make informed decisions about safety, mobility, and aging in place.

This physician-led practice was created to provide that additional layer of support. Rather than replacing a person’s existing physicians or therapists, it complements their care by offering practical home safety observations, family education, and individualized recommendations designed to help older adults remain as safe and independent as possible in their own homes.
