I have been in the nursing profession for 40 years with a vast amount of experience in helping my patients and their families through very difficult, complex crises in their lives. My career as a Hospice nurse, Open Heart nurse, Home Care Director, and University Professor, has brought me much joy in being able to work with patients and their families during the crises they face. Therefore, when I retired from being a hospital Case Manager, RN at the Veterans Administration and then at Kaiser Hospital, I was thankful that the Lord had given me good health and a lot of experience and believed He wanted me to continue to assist people in their time of need. Therefore, QSPS was begun, helping our elderly seniors and their families find the “Right” care facility for them is my heart's desire. It is a huge transition for the elderly to leave what is familiar and to move to an unknown with people to care for them that they don't know, therefore, it is my goal to listen carefully to their psychological needs as well as their physical needs when considering “Care Placement”.

Working with people from different cultures and all ages have become natural to me. Children and the elders in particular, bring me so much joy. With confidence I can help relieve the stress for families and their loved ones in transitioning into new living arrangement that will provide care and love. We will follow up with at least 2 visits to make sure it is the right fit for your family member. The follow up visit is a blessing for me as the love and wisdom that I actually receive from each elder is immeasureable.
" Now to him who is able to do immeasureably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" Eph. 3:20

I am so excited about the opportunity to join QSPS. It can be such an emotionally challenging time for families and their loved ones when they realize the people they love, need more care than they are able to provide. The team of QSPS are such warm, compassionate people that love to help families during this difficult transition. It is so important that the right loving, caring enviroment is found for each person. QSPS endeavors to do this each and every time. I look forward to helping families deal with the emotional struggles, as well as, finding the specialised care and proper loving enviroment for their family member. I am so proud to be part of such a wonderful team.

A California native I come to QSPS with great knowledge of the local community. I have spent the past few years of my career working in the Medical Device industry. Working with fellow medical professionals and clients with a variety of medical conditions I have learned the importance and need for patient advocacy. The elderly have always held a special place in my heart. I currently volunteer locally and more recently within the senior community. Doing so brings me much joy as I offer assistance to seniors in any and all areas of need. Professionally, having helped seniors with their Medical Equipment needs I acted as a patient advocate to ensure the right equipment was ordered based on their diagnosis and care needed. As a result, I found great value in being available to them, family members and medical professionals in every step of the process. QSPS is the perfect fit for me, I am happy to be working with a team of patient advocates whom really care about clients and their experience during this time of trying transitions. I am overjoyed to have moved into my new home as a Placement Specialist here at QSPS. I look forward to assisting others individually in finding their new home based on needs, care and stage in life with compassion, love and understanding.
