About Vanessa

I have the compassion and empathy of a Caregiver. I embrace individuality and understand that each person in different. I like allowing individuals to exhibit their own independence; standing by for any assistance that might be needed. I am proud to have worked as a Care Manager, Lead Care Manager and presently, a Medication Care Manager. I've worked for the same organization for nearly ten years (03/15). My breadth and depth of knowledge for seniors span from just stand by assistance for assisted living residents to hands on care for those individuals with Alzheimer's Disease, other Dementia, as well as those residents who are on the hospice program. I've worked with the Department of Community Mental Health; I have a BBA in Health Care Administration and a MBA In Human Resource Management. I truly enjoy and take pride and passion in providing care and comfort to those individuals who require it.
