About Shari

- I'm very outgoing and love the older population. I have ten years experience in elder care, and I have an expertise in dementia care. I pride myself in my approach towards older adults, and trying my best to help them feel independent. - I grew up watching my mother care for older adults in our family, so from a young age I've had a respect and love for helping older adults. - I love getting to know them as a person, and doing whatever I can to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. - I am a Certified Dementia Practitioner and have my certification in Teepa Snow's positive approach to care.
