My Story 

In 2018 My mom was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease.  Her diagnosis changed both of our lives.  I moved back to New Jersey from Reno, Nevada, moving in to my mom's home to care for her. During this time, I became my mom's primary caregiver while working full time.  I had stair glides installed, a new walk in tub, grab bars, ramps and more; our house was safe. That was the easy part. The most challenging part, aside from watching my mom decline was finding the right caregivers to support my moms needs while I was working and during times of needed respite. As a nurse working within the healthcare space, primarily for seniors I thought that I would be able to adjust and handle my new life with ease. I learned very quickly that being a professional is quite different than being the daughter and caregiver.  I now use my experience and knowledge to help others sort through their options and find the best care for them now and as their needs change.
