Elena’s experience in the senior living industry includes more than 16 years in assisted living and memory care communities as a community relations director. Working with families was a natural fit after a prior rewarding career with a humanitarian organization. She joined the senior living industry as a way to make a difference in the lives of seniors and those that love and worry about them. Her professional as well as personal family experiences make her a sympathetic and knowledgeable resource to help seniors and families.
Elena enjoys playing flute in the local community band – despite only having only mediocre musical abilities. She is an enthusiastic Boise State Broncos fan - especially for their marching band! Elena has spent almost two decades volunteering for the Alzheimer’s Association with committee work as well as leading family and caregiver support groups.
I am passionate about finding a path that alleviates the helplessness, confusion, and worries faced by many families supporting aging loved ones. I can appreciate how overwhelming and anxiety-ridden finding a senior living setting can be. My goal is to find a practical, easy-to-follow plan and provide you with continual support throughout the entire process. I won’t rest easy, until you can rest easy.
