About Lori

I am extremely blessed to have been shown my calling in this life. I was given the soul of a caregiver. I wanted nothing more, as far back as I can remember, to become a nurse as well as a Flight Attendant. So, at the young age of 17, I left a small farm town in the Mid-West (Niles, Michigan.) Made both my dreams... reality! I have always enjoyed the Geriatric Field of Nursing and one day hope to own and operate my very own 6 person, RCFE, here in the desert area. I believe the small, intimate "Golden Girls" residential care homes will become the future of assisted living. I have over 23 years experience as a Licensed Nurse and have truly enjoyed caring, loving and giving all God gave me to give not only to residents/patients, but to families, friends and the countless healthcare workers I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with to learn, teach and grow to strengthen the KNOWLEDGE needed to provide the best possible care each and every soul so greatly deserves. I am so proud of my accomplishments and knowing I did it on my very own makes it all that much more......telling!!!

I am strong at multitasking, communication, and interpersonal skills. I am a huge movie buff, I enjoy listening to opera, and current music. I love art museums and reading novels. I enjoy quiet evenings. It takes a lot to get me upset and frustrated. I love being a caregiver because I love helping people, and seeing them regain their independence. Seeing patients change from a bad mood to a great positive mood is the joy I get. My biggest achievement to date was being accepted to the nursing program at College of the Desert.
