I love Food. Passionate for Chocolate! Chocolate cake, icecream, tortes, pretzels, nuts, bacon. You put good chocolate on it, I am in Heaven!

A Note From Marylou
I have walked through the eldercare journey personally and professionally. I am aware of what is needed to make the transition work for your loved one. Many years ago, A Place for Mom helped me find eldercare when my parents were in dire straights and here I am today working for this amazing company. I end each day with a smile on my face knowing I have helped someone, somewhere in this maze of an industry.
