ABOUT
I'm Ilyse Zimmerman and I have been working as an Occupational Therapist, since graduating NYU with my M.A degree in 2005. I am licensed and registered to work in both New York and New Jersey. When COVID first began, I focused my career path on assisting those in my family and my friends who were unable and/or uncomfortable to safely go to health, wellness and rehabilitation visits in a facility. Noticing this need for others in my community quickly led to the start of Good Life Occupational Therapy Services.
Good Life Occupational Therapy Services provides home care services in the comfort and privacy of your home. From newborns to seniors, I can offer a range of services to enhance your level of happiness and independence.

My dad always looks forward to his sessions. Ilyse is kind and compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
M.C., Daughter of Patient
We like when our grandpa gets therapy in his house because then we always get to be included. We love playing games with him, like catch and board games too. We get to see his accomplishments and he has made a lot of them. We love how hard his therapist works to help our grandpa and she makes it fun too.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
COVID-19
March 6, 2022
My top priority is always safety. Proper PPE (personal protective equipment) will be utilized, when medically required to maintain our safety.
As the mask mandate in New Jersey has now been lifted, the use of masks for COVID protection will now be considered optional. What does that mean during your session? You may choose to wear a mask or not wear one, as you feel comfortable. I will gladly put one on if it makes you more comfortable as well.
If you are experiencing any cold, flu or COVID symptoms, or if you have been in close contact with anyone who is COVID positive, please call and we can make an alternative plan for our session. If rescheduling is best or a virtual visit, I will make sure to accommodate your need. I will be sure to offer you the same respect in return, if I experience any symptoms as well.
