About Karen

I enjoy helping others feel joy. When I began my journey as a caregiver in 2008, I worked with alzheimer's patients. To brighten the moment and see a twinkle in their eye was rewarding beyond words. I spent 7 years with that facility. I moved to mental health and expanded my caregiving far further by attending the adolescent, adult and geriatric patients. My joy in giving resulted to being promoted into activities coordinator. I left to accept a position as Activities Director. Finding my greatest reward after being recruited to work with a hospice team ! My passion for positive activities helped this team open doors and gain patients from many nursing facilities. Caregiving gives back so much!
