About Shannon

Caregiving has always come naturally to me, even as a child I was drawn to caring for others. As a licensed social worker, I have enjoyed a professional career dedicated to caring for others and advocating for the welfare of elders. I am very client centered and believe in a holistic model of care. It is important to me that my clients physical, mental and emotional needs are met with respect and dignity. I am proud of the relationships that I have built with clients and families as a caregiver - it feels wonderful to know that I have made a difference in helping clients to live in their own home and that family caregivers are also supported by my work.
