How I Can Help
Take the stress and confusion out of healthcare decisions. Our expert nurse advocates step in as your family’s personal guide—reviewing care plans, attending appointments (virtually or in-person), translating medical jargon, and challenging any system that stands in your way. You gain clarity, confidence, and a trusted partner who ensures your loved one gets the right care, at the right time, for the right reasons.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
As a nurse we always had a heart to serve and help others. An elderly woman I knew from church asked me to stop by and visit. She shared she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and stopped going to church because she was afraid she would forget the names of her friends she had known for years.

She asked me if I could help. Her husband said "I have one wish. I want her to stay here with me and not go into a nursing home. Can you help me make that happen?" That was my first case before I became a Board-Certified Patient Advocate.

This was a tough case. Behaviors, not knowing her husband periodically, trying to eat or drink things she was not supposed to, wandering, and so much more! We did it but not without overturning every resource we could get our hands on. We were determined to keep her home for as long as safely possible and make her husband's wish come true.
