We take pride in the personal, compassionate service we provide to seniors and their families. Meet our Oasis team, your trusted partner for senior living and resources.
Serving my community here in West Michigan has been my passion, so acting as President of Oasis Senior Advisors® is the best way that I know to continue that effort. After ~25 years of retail marketing, I found myself drawn to serving our community in many ways. As Trustee to the St. Mary’s Foundation at Trinity Health, Board Member of my local food pantry (Helping Hands), Cabinet Member of the Hauenstein Center at Grand Valley State University, Member of the Council on Aging, Leader of the Senior Care Coalition and Senior Advocacy Council, I have found a new niche in helping our Grand Rapids residents navigate the senior care services industry.
Oasis Senior Advisors® provides me the joy of assisting families here in West Michigan — helping them to make the best possible choices about where to turn when their need arises. Know that we will take very seriously the future care of your loved ones. It’s our promise to ensure that our services make you feel comfortable and trust that we are dedicated to your family.
I have worked as a patient care technician in Adult Foster Care, Skilled Nursing Facilities and in Hospital settings. Over the years, I have developed the importance of patient centered care and an understanding of how important the staff’s role is in making a community a comfortable place to live. By working firsthand with patients and residents, I understand some of the intimate needs to be met daily. I have always enjoyed helping others and I am excited to use my experience in patient care to help find you and your loved ones a place to call home. Making a life changing decision such as senior living can be difficult for you and your loved one. I am available to help and offer my knowledge in senior care navigation to help you or your loved one(s) make the right decisions with senior living.
Coming from the Cardio Intensive Care Unit and previous years of experience in Skilled Nursing, I understand and appreciate the need for Oasis Senior Advisors in our Community. I loved being a caregiver, and I’m excited to use my experience and knowledge to help others make decisions and transitions smoothly.
I truly believe if our senior population is well taken care of, the benefits are reaped not only by future generations, but also the community. There are many avenues of opportunity available in senior living; I would love to help navigate you and/or your loved one through this process.
I started my journey in senior care by providing care for my mother for 14 years. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 4 months after my father died. I know personally what hurdles and challenges families face. During that time, I learned a lot, and what I learned did not come easy, it was overwhelming and a very emotional experience. For the last 5 years I have spent time with a private duty provider and developed a deep knowledge of the senior care resources available. I consulted families guiding them as they navigated the best options for their loved one’s circumstances. I am understanding and empathetic. I have finally found my true vocation, serving seniors and their families. Little did I know at the time, my life experience with my mother was an example of what I should have been doing my whole life. I look forward to being a source to individuals seeking alternatives as they navigate life’s changes.
