About Carolyn

I started working in a nursing home in 1981 because I've always taken care of people, providing emotional and physical support when I could. The care that I give my patients on a daily basis reflects the compassion and professionalism of how I would treat members of my own family, doing whatever I can to make them comfortable. Being employed at my current job for over 23 years is a testament to my dedication and commitment to providing excellent care to all of the patients that I've cared for.
