I have designed Plan Life Care LLC and Partners in Health Care to be the support structure and helping hand I wish had existed to help my mother. I become a Certified Senior Care manager and Certified Aging in Place specialist, setting up Plan Life Care in 2017.Plan Life Care was ranked in the top 2% (2019) of all agencies in Florida. Partners in Health Care appealed to myself, because they also offer an extremely high level of quality. Partners in Healthcare is one of the very few Accredited private duty home care agencies. This means a full time director of nursing manages all aspects of the client’s care.

Previous Owners
Very early in my life, I knew I was a caregiver. Helping others is truly what motivates me. My first job as a nurse’s aide was in a nursing home, caring for elderly individuals. Then I began my professional nursing career as an LPN and gained vast experience in eldercare.
After my sons began school, I decided to continue my education. During this same time, my dad, who had been such a strong supporter and positive influence in my life, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died a few months later at the young age of fifty-nine. I knew from this personal experience that there had to be a way to keep loved ones with their families during these trying times and hopefully to the end of their lives if that is what they desired. I returned to school and earned a degree as a registered nurse.
Homecare was relatively new and growing in Massachusetts, but I knew this was the niche in which I needed to work. My desire has always been to provide clients with the support and assistance necessary to stay independent for as long as reasonably possible. I am certified by the State of Florida’s Department of Elder Affairs as an Alzheimer’s Trainer and by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners as a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP). Today, after a multitude of changes, I find my life has come full circle. I am pursuing the same goals I did all those years ago, helping others through RN-managed home care.
While working, I earned a BS in Business/E-Business, an MBA, an MA in Marketing, and I’m a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA). A few years ago while in transition from my last job of 15 years, my wife expressed an interest in starting her own home health agency. Unsatisfied with the pursuit of technically-focused positions, I yearned for more control of my own destiny, and thus Partners in Healthcare was born.
I am the Home Health Agency Administrator for Partners in Healthcare, responsible for all the non-medical aspects of the business. I am passionate about the work we do. Helping others age in place safely and independently provides the personal satisfaction that I have seldom felt in other positions. As a Navy veteran and member of the American Legion, I would be honored to help all vets and their families to develop a care plan that meets their needs.
