Nicole Deacon is a registered occupational therapist and the founder of Elevate Mobility Occupational Therapy Solutions. She provides in-home occupational therapy services to adults and older adults across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, with a focus on mobility, home safety, and supporting applications through the Ministry of Health’s Assistive Devices Program (ADP).

Nicole holds a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from McGill University, following a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics with a minor in Psychology from the University of Ottawa. Her passion lies in helping individuals stay independent and engaged in the activities that matter most to them—whether that’s moving safely around the home, accessing their community, or navigating daily tasks with greater ease.

She believes that with the right support and practical planning, clients of all abilities can participate in meaningful activities safely and confidently. Nicole takes a thoughtful, collaborative approach and works to ensure clients understand their options—including access to funding where eligible.

Why I Started Elevate Mobility

Elevate Mobility was founded to address a growing need for timely, accessible occupational therapy services in the community. Many adults face long wait times or limited access to care, especially when it comes to essential mobility equipment and home safety support.

With Elevate Mobility, the goal is to bridge that gap—offering responsive, in-home assessments and practical solutions that help adults live safely, comfortably, and independently. This practice was created with a commitment to supporting those who need help navigating the healthcare system, accessing funding, and making meaningful changes that improve daily life.
