About Alissa

Over the next several years, Alissa gained the experience and knowledge that makes her an excellent resource to help seniors and families.

What I'm passionate about:

I am passionate about family. When I am not working, I can most likely be found on a boat in the local Charleston waterways with my family and friends. I spend time with my husband, Chris, a Captain at North Charleston Fire Department, our two daughters, Adelynn & Annastyn and two fur babies, Kaia and Nova.

A Note From Alissa

I am very passionate about helping families find the best solution to their loved ones needs. I feel honored that families look to me for guidance and knowledge, allow me to be a part of their process, and see me as the expert in navigating them through such an emotional experience. To have a family trust in me in this way humbles me, and makes it even more important for me to help make the process as smooth as possible for both the family and the senior needing care.
