Carol was born and raised in Central Florida. She is married and has three daughters, three son in-laws and 7 beautiful grandchildren. Carol has helped seniors find the right assisted living that they can call home for over 25 years here in Central Florida. It has enhanced their lives and brought peace of mind to their families. Carol was part of management teams that opened two assisted living communities in the area which both are now providing a home to over 250 seniors. The seniors and families that she has helped are too many to count. It has always been a passion for her to work with so many nice and interesting people and to help them find a place they can call home and to enjoy a happy life by getting the care, socialization and proper diet that is so important to their wellbeing.

Carol is the president and facilitator of the Health Care Sales and Marketing Professionals that has been meeting once a month for over 14 years. It is designed to bring health care professionals together to help educate them and work together to help seniors. This group also does a fundraiser and give out checks twice a year to local charities. In addition Carol sets up the monthly Florida Guardianship Association meetings. This is a group who helps seniors that do not have a family to assist them.

Carol studied business at Seminole State College in Lake Mary, Florida and Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado. In the past years she was on the board of Maitland Chamber, Secretary of the Social Workers Association, core trained in Assisted Living Administration and a Marketing and Sales Director for over twenty years in local assisted living communities.

Testimonials

I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for senior living facilities. She was attentive to our specific needs. She listened to our situation and advised us based on our needs not hers. In every respect she surpassed our expectations. She is compassionate, thoughtful, caring and kind. She also continued to follow up with us after placement to make sure everything was going well and if we needed anything. I have not interacted with anyone better in this capacity. -Lisa R

I wanted to personally thank you for your help with finding a place to care for my dad. I can honestly say that you are a shining example of true care and compassion for the clients you are serving. You went above and beyond all expectations assisting me with options for placement and coordinating the logistics to quickly get my dad the care he needed. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for the same type of assistance. -Deborah M

“Sue helped find my mom the perfect place to call home! My mom had several unique needs, and Sue was very patient, diligent, and thorough about researching and narrowing down the facilities that best met our needs and budget. She scheduled and met us for tours, helped us make the best choice, and stayed involved even after my mom moved in to make sure her transition was smooth and we were happy. I highly recommend Sue if you are looking for someone kind, caring and knowledgeable to help navigate the process of next step living for any elderly person in your life. She’s the best!” -JM
