Valerie’s experience in working with seniors and their families began in her family’s funeral home where she worked with families in preparing for the future. She joined the senior living industry after sharing in the experience of searching for the best appropriate care for a grandparent who had suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with dementia. Her knowledge and experience make her an excellent resource to help seniors and their families.
I love to spend time with my husband, 2 daughters, and our rescue dogs. I also enjoy spending time in my garden, training our dogs, and reading.
“I am passionate about helping families discover that seniors can have excellent care and the best quality of life, despite having an illness or physical challenge. I understand how overwhelming the process can feel while trying to care for a loved one and finding trusted professionals to assist with their needs, so my goal is to help make this process as smooth as possible.”
