About Laura

I love working with the elderly. I believe in a holistic approach to caregiving. I am hospice trained and have over 10 years experience working in the field. In addition I am an interfaith chaplain. I have worked as an activities assistant in a facility that was for folks with dementia. I believe working with the elderly is my calling. I have letters of reference from all of the families I have given care to over the past 12 years.

    I became a caregiver because I did not want to work in main stream Healthcare anymore. My passion is helping seniors the way they and their family's want to be cared for without Healthcare systems making the choices for their care. I worked as a physical therapy assistant for 27 years. The last 8 were in a rehabilitation department at a skilled nursing facility. I have enjoyed the last 9 years doing private home care as a caregiver. Helping individuals live their lives with dignity, safety and loving care.
