Meet Merrill
Hello!! I am a trained and compassionate gerontologist who provides and coordinates care for the elderly. With my training and experience, I can help you make the best decisions for yourself or your elderly loved ones who may need more assistance.
Whether this means transitioning to an assisted care facility or simply adding care at home, my goal is to make the process as easy as possible. And to advocate for my clients with empathy, dignity, and even some laughter and fun!
