Kind’s Leadership
Scott Salus, Occupational Therapist, Owner
Scott earned his Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Springfield College in 2016. He has worked with older adults for his entire career, first in inpatient rehab, and he has worked in home care since 2017.
Scott knew before he began his schooling that he wanted to work with the geriatric population, and he continues to be fascinated by the ways OT can dramatically improve the lives of his senior clients. His approach is holistic, always keeping in mind each client’s specific difficulties, joys, home environment, history, and preferred activities.
Scott’s specialties include dementia, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, mental health conditions, and injuries of the hand, arm, shoulder and neck. He is certified in LSVT BIG, an exercise program specifically for people with Parkinson’s. He can recommend wheelchair modifications, home equipment, exercise programs, and mindfulness techniques.
He became an Occupational Therapist because he witnessed the wonderful ways an OT was able to improve the life of his grandfather when he was diagnosed with dementia. He adores working with the senior population and strives to provide the kind of care his grandfather received.

Daniel Basta, Physical Therapist, Owner
Daniel obtained his Master in Physical Therapy from the College of Staten Island, New York in 2008. He has been a physical therapist for the past 14 years; he started his career working for 4 years in a hospital setting, and he then transitioned to private practice for 1 year. Since 2013, Daniel has been a home care physical therapist.
Daniel fell in love with home care because of the one-on-one time that he gets to spend with his clients. He enjoys getting to know each person on a deeper level and how they interact in their home environment. Daniel enjoys learning his clients’ life stories, as well as those of their families. This helps him make physical therapy a team approach.
Daniel loves his profession and the rewarding feeling of improving his clients’ lives. His specialties include orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and general medical conditions, mainly in the senior population. He is an advocate for preventative care and assesses gait, balance, and movement of each of his clients to help them stay upright and prevent injury or falls.
Daniel’s inspiration is his grandmother, who greatly benefited from physical therapy and fully recovered from a fractured hip.
