My Story:

My dad began exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's at the young age of 65. Following his diagnosis, I delved into researching the disease to prepare my family and myself. At that time, the scarce information on Alzheimer's left us confused and fearful for him. As it became unsafe for him to stay at home, we embarked on the challenging search for memory care communities. We were uncertain of what to expect or which questions to ask. Juggling the progression of his illness, a full-time job, and two active children was overwhelming. We felt hopeless and frustrated, lacking guidance in this tough journey.

This journey in finding care for my dad motivated me to effect change for others in similar situations. I am committed to ensuring that the dignity of you and your loved ones is safeguarded. With a 25-year career as a Director of Merchandising behind me, I returned to school to earn my Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)® certification. This enables me to assist families and their loved ones by addressing difficult questions and preventing them from being overwhelmed by the process. Understanding what matters to both you and your loved ones is crucial in navigating these life changes.

I too have navigated this road, and I'm here to walk alongside you, guide you through the chapters ahead, and ensure your loved one is treated with compassion and able to age with grace.
