A Message From The Founder

I wanted to let all of you know that I am now directly helping family caregivers and older adults with long-term care planning, finding the right care settings and financial planning.  While I have spent most of my 20 year professional career as an administrator and operator in long-term care facilities, and I still teach Gerontology and Long-term Care Administration at the university, I am most passionate about helping families deal with the challenges of caregiving.  I made this decision to “switch” careers following the passing of my own mom after many years as her primary informal caregiver.  Even as a professional Administrator, nothing prepared me for the physical, mental, spiritual and financial challenges of caring for a loved one. I am now dedicated to helping other caregivers cope with the same challenges I have gone through.  I am doing this personally, and through my non-for-profit Quality of Life Group for those who need extra help.

If you ever need help or advice with caregiving or know someone who does, please let me know. “One of my highest honors is to make a great deal of difference in the lives of older adults and their families.”- Dr. Min Cole, Ph.D., Applied Gerontology.
