After losing her grandmother in 2001, Lisa decided to completely change careers and start working with seniors. She moved to Chicago and immediately started volunteering with some of the local agencies and realized she had a real desire to spend time with seniors. Soon afterwards she found her dream job, and helped open a beautiful assisted living community in Chicago.
In her position, she worked with seniors and their families and realized there was a need to educate families on the different types of senior-care options. She found that families were completely overwhelmed and wasted time searching for facilities that often resulted in being unsuitable, inappropriate or unaffordable. From this experience and the desire to advocate for seniors and their families, Senior Living Experts was born.
Lisa continues to be actively involved in the community and serving seniors and their families. She has been the co-chair for the Chicago Memory Walk (Alzheimer’s Association) since 2006. She also recently completed a program in Geriatric Assessment through the Institute of Geriatric Social Work, Boston University School of Social work in partnership with Rush University Medical Center.
Lisa is a graduate of Virginia Tech and serves on the board for the Chicago chapter of the Illinois Continuity of Care.
