Originally from Maine, she learned to love and respect older adults at a young age when her father, who was a local physician, would take her to the nursing home to cheer up patients on his rotation of house calls.

Resident safety, meaningful connections, holistic wellness and a sense of purpose is critical in her mind for successful transitions, and she is skilled and capable in assisting families with finding the setting that is just right for them.
