We've been on both sides of senior care

I'm a wife and a mom of two daughters. My husband and I have been together for 19 years and married for over 10, and family is at the center of everything I do.

I began my career as a caregiver in a group home, and healthcare has been part of my life ever since. I went on to become a cardiac sonographer, and that medical background gave me a real understanding of health needs. When I meet a family, I can see what their parents are facing, understand the care they need, and ask the right questions to find a home that can accommodate their care. I later owned and ran my own adult family home, and after more than a decade, I'm still devoted to caring for seniors and the families who love them.

In that time, I've sat with many families in crisis. A fall, a hospital stay, or a diagnosis changes everything overnight, and suddenly they're making one of the hardest decisions of their lives with little time and no idea where to turn. I know how overwhelming that is, and I never want a family to feel like they're facing it alone.

Owning an adult family home taught me what a well-run home looks like. You can feel it when you walk in: caregivers who know each resident by name, a clean and calm space, and residents who look comfortable and cared for. I know the small signs that show whether a place is run with care or just run for profit.

That's why I started Golden Haven. I personally tour and vet every home and meet the staff before I recommend them. And when you call, you talk to me.
