The Heart Behind It

A Passion for Serving Seniors

For those who know me, you know my passion for serving seniors and supporting families has always been at the heart of what I do. Over the years, I have been blessed to build meaningful relationships with past residents, our members, their families, and so many incredible healthcare professionals in our community.

Those relationships and the trust that has been built mean everything to me.

Where It Began

Learning to Listen

My journey in senior care began as a Social Services Director in skilled nursing, where I learned the importance of advocacy, compassion, and truly listening to families.

I continued to grow in this field, always seeking to better understand how we can support individuals and families navigating care decisions.

It Became Personal

My Dad. My Mom. Our Journey.

My passion for this work became even more personal when I lost my dad in 2023 after his journey with dementia. Watching my mom as his primary caregiver gave me a deeper understanding of the challenges families face—the uncertainty, the emotions, and the need for someone they can trust to help guide them through the journey.

Families need someone they can trust to help guide them through the journey.

A Vision Takes Shape

Built With Purpose

Through prayer, reflection, and seeking God’s direction, this vision began to take shape. I truly believe this next chapter was created with a purpose—to help families feel supported, educated, and never alone as they navigate the many decisions that come with aging and changing care needs.

Over the past several months, I have been intentionally laying the groundwork for this next step—listening, learning, building relationships, and gathering feedback from the incredible professionals who serve our aging community. I wanted to make sure this was built thoughtfully, with trusted partnerships and meaningful resources in place.

Introducing

ActivAge Care Advisors

ActivAge has launched a new entity—ActivAge Care Advisors. This completes our family of services, providing families with guidance and support throughout their entire care journey.

Adult Day

Joy, connection, and supervised care by day—in Port Charlotte and Sarasota.

Compassionate one-on-one support in the comfort of home.

Care Advisors

Guidance, education, and trusted resources for every stage of the journey.

As our members’ needs change, my hope is that the relationship and trust we have built continues—walking alongside families, helping them understand their options, and connecting them with trusted resources.
A Unique Perspective

I’ve Sat on Every Side of the Table

Before joining ActivAge, I had the privilege of serving as an Executive Director for more than five years, leading both assisted living and memory care communities. That experience gave me a unique perspective into senior living operations, leadership, quality care, and what families should look for when making one of the most important decisions for their loved one.

I also understand that no community is perfect. What matters is finding the right fit, partnering with organizations that lead with integrity, communicate openly, and are committed to doing what is right for the individuals and families they serve.

To Our Healthcare Partners

Thank You for Your Trust

To our healthcare partners, thank you for the trust you have placed in me. As I continue building strong partnerships with trusted resources throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties, my goal is to collaborate with organizations and leaders who share the same commitment—to care for their patients, clients, residents, and families with dignity, compassion, and respect.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our seniors, Veterans, members, and their families—helping provide guidance, education, and trusted resources throughout every stage of their care journey.

What This Is Really About

Peace of Mind

This has never been about simply finding a place. It’s about helping families find peace of mind, understanding their choices, and knowing they have someone in their corner throughout the entire care journey.

Thank you to every family, member, Veteran, healthcare partner, and community friend who has trusted me along the way. I am so grateful for this next chapter with ActivAge Care Advisors and excited to continue serving our community by listening, educating, guiding, and doing what’s right. 💚
