About Laura

My experience in geriatric social work has shown me how difficult it is to rely on professional home health services. I also understand the importance of a flexible schedule. I want to make a difference and connect with those in need of weekend or evening support. I continue to serve the senior community full time during the week as part of my employee responsibilities. I am very proud to be completing my Master's degree in Social Work with the intent to continue to serve the medical needs of the senior population in Florida.
