I have previously been involved in physical fitness and body building for over 20 years and recently took up golf as a stress reliever; however, trying to hit that little white ball with a long skinny stick, has on more than one occasion actually caused additional stress.
I am also the Legal Guardian for my elderly Father who has Alzheimer's disease and who is also physically handicapped due to the lasting effects of multiple strokes. He is wheelchair bound and resides in a local group home for the elderly. In spite of my 'Can Do' attitude, I have discovered that I am simply not capable of single-handedly meeting Dad's ongoing care needs, and maintaining my Real Estate business simultaneously. I am also the mother of three grown children and have seven grandchildren. Only two reside in AZ; they are the light of my life.
As a result of my on-going personal experiences encountered in caring for my aged Father, I've become a heart-centered advocate, in an effort to bring awareness to the varied issues in elder care. I'm in the process of writing a book depicting the struggles I've faced in this still unregulated and all too often, predatory industry.
It's my intent, that in sharing my personal story, that those still unaware of the emotional and financial games played out daily within the elder care industry, become cognizant of the hidden issues regarding elder exploitation, abuse and neglect. I pray for a nation where our elders are no longer considered to be an object for the sole purpose of financial gain, and that as consumers of elder services, we are no longer forced to tolerate abuse by those placed in positions of power. The time has come for the elder care industry to be brought to accountability for their actions and mistreatment of our family members who have been placed in their care. The Senior's of Arizona deserve the right to live their lives with the respect and dignity entitled to each and every individual as fellow human beings, and to receive the basic services of proper nutrition, hygiene and personal care, which is paid on their behalf.
I’m an experienced Real Estate Professional, a skilled negotiator and a heart-centered advocate who represents YOU, my client. I endeavor to treat others in the same manner as I would expect to be treated.
It is my desire to use my personal experiences with the elder care system to bring about positive change through public awareness.
Skill, Integrity, Experience, Knowledge…Results!!!
