About Lacey

Passionate about adults with brain injuries. Determined to provide the best care for individuals needing assistance to ensure they thrive in life. I've dedicated the past 6yrs learning about diabetes; accepting challenges far exceeding my skills; developing positive and professional work relationships with providers across Western MA including doctors from Mass General. I am gtube trained by the state; certified in MAP. My greatest accomplishment was receiving a client back in 2016 who had a serious medical condition with a life expectancy of 4-6 weeks. After 7 surgeries, failure to quit and accept no for an answer, traveling to MGH for a year, working closely with the state ethical director... his life expectancy surpassed 4-6 weeks. He is alive today, eating, out of the hospital, and thriving in life.

I started caring for people even before I completed my CNA certification. I've always had a passion to help people in need and to be a companion to people that don't have anyone else. I am very passionate about what I do because I love what I do. I am very proud of the education that I continue to pursue. My ultimate goal is to become a nurse. The thing I enjoy the most about this job is the different people I get to care for. I've learned a lot from my clients ,and I know that they could be completely comfortable with me.
