About Sheyna

Sheyna has a Master of Social Work and is certified in gerontology with over 20 years in the senior healthcare field. She has worked for an area agency on aging, practiced as a licensed geriatric care manager to numerous families in the D.C. metro area, and has worked as director of community relations for a national senior living provider in D.C. metro area for 10 years.

What I'm passionate about:

I love my dog Simon who is a Bichon/Poodle. I love being a resource to families who need guidance in helping their loved ones who suffer from memory loss disorders (Alzheimer's/Dementia). I love being around positive people! I love relaxing on a beach and being outside in nature.

A Note From Sheyna

"Finding the best care for seniors can be overwhelming and intimidating. As an advisor, I have a unique opportunity to use both my geriatric social work experience and senior living experiences in a way that provides expert assistance to people during this stressful time. Helping families find the best care option while offering patience, understanding and knowledge is extremely rewarding."
