Tell us a little about what you do?  When it’s no longer safe for mom or dad to be in their home alone, I assist families through the stressful process of finding the RIGHT next place to call home, or in bringing the right care into their home. Let me be your senior sherpa!

Tell us something personal about why you serve Seniors? As a former nurse, I love the geriatric community and am always looking for ways to help them thrive. I went through this process twice with my own parents, so I know the challenges that families face (and want to remove the stress surrounding all the decisions and options). I have also seen seniors in new communities that don’t serve their needs, so I want to make sure that they thrive and that they and their families are happy with the choices they make.

Professional Association or Accreditations:  RN. 

Something interesting that no one knows: I am a classic English Lit nerd (think Jane Austen) and lettered in tennis when I was in school many years ago (my backhand was awesome!

Tell us a little about what you do?  We serve the legal needs of seniors and their families—Medicaid planning and applying for Medicaid, estate planning, managing chronic conditions while maintaining standard of living, conservatorships, probate. We want to take away the anxiety of seniors and their loved ones as they manage problems for which they are virtually never prepared.
Tell us something personal about why you serve Seniors?  I was the first woman hired by a major firm in downtown Nashville before the phrase “glass ceiling” was invented. I was a trial lawyer for about 35 years and 22 of those years I was a single mom with no support. I know what it’s like to be anxious. I get so much meaning in helping families with the anxiety of aging and the difficult questions that come up

Tell us a little about what you do? As a Hospice Care Consultant we help healthcare professionals, families, and patients to provide them with education on hospice and benefits. We help ensure a smooth transition to hospice for patients and their families. We work with a team of social workers, chaplains, music therapist, nurses, nursing aids, and medical director to ensure we are providing the best support to the patient and their families during a difficult time.

 
Tell us something personal about why you serve Seniors?  As a Hospice Care Consultant, I have the opportunity to walk with patients and families and provide them with support, education, and understanding during a very difficult time in their lives. Hospice work can be very emotionally taxing and it can even be heartbreaking but it’s some of the most rewarding and special work I’ve ever done. We are invited into people’s homes during a very sacred and intimate time, and it is such an honor. It feels fulfilling to be able to alleviate distress, whether that’s physical or emotional, and for the patient and family to trust us and look to us for guidance and reassurance.
