In my 30 years as an Occupational Therapist, I’ve seen how catastrophic injuries affect a person’s life—physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. As a Certified Life Care Planner, I support people by identifying the most likely care they will need to optimize functional outcomes and future quality of life.
Wendy Harper
MS, OTR/L, CLCP
Regional Director - East Coast Life Care Planning
Occupational Therapist, Certified Life Care Planner
I arrived at life care planning with many years of experience as a clinician in occupational therapy and a Certified Hand Therapist. I am passionate about uncovering pathways for the traumatically injured to return to as close to their activities of daily living as possible, as well as contributing to the clinical education of my peers through publication and pre-publication review.
My Nurse Practitioner background in orthopedic and neuro-spine surgery contributes an additional level of clinical insight and proactivity toward our team's support of individuals' lifelong needs.
As an occupational therapist, my primary goal when working with clients is to improve function and promote quality of life. At Turning Point we take a collaborative and holistic approach to develop life care plans that are both comprehensive and meaningful for an individual’s current and future needs.
My clinical experience has shown me how profoundly a significant injury can affect everyday life. I believe a life care plan should reflect the individual—not assumptions. Every recommendation must be grounded in clinical evidence, sound reasoning, and a clear understanding of the person’s medical and functional needs.
With a background supporting life care planning from the litigation side, I’m proud to be part of a team that values efficiency, accuracy, and compassion. I enjoy supporting our expert life care planners in delivering a professional and seamless experience for every client.
I’m passionate about getting the details right. Whether I’m reviewing codes or helping providers improve documentation, I take pride in supporting the integrity and accuracy that our clients rely on every day.
Balancing rigorous academics with Division I athletics has taught me discipline, accountability, and precision—skills I bring to my work supporting accurate and reliable life care planning.
