Randy’s passion for nursing makes her a terrific Nurse Administrator. |

Mitzi Nelson: God has allowed me the privilege to be a Senior Care Manager because it gives me the opportunity to give back to Seniors the Love, Honor and respect they so rightly deserve. When I started in the Senior Industry several years ago it started as a career but now it is my passion and a part of who I am. The journey of life takes us through many changes, some being too difficult to handle on our own. Being a Senior Care Manager allows me to step in and help families get the help they need and offer many resources during a difficult time. While working with families I treat them how I would want someone to treat my parents whom I consider my “precious cargo”. I have had extensive training in multiple levels of care in the senior industry but my personal experience has allowed me to see and relate to families on both sides of the spectrum. I am also a life long resident of Jefferson County. |
