“I joined Silver Oak as Medical Director because I believe in the mission of providing benefits not found in other North County assisted living facilities. At Silver Oak, we are very progressive about elder care. We work closely with our residents, their families and primary care physicians to help residents navigate the challenging issues of aging and provide a safe, comfortable, healthy and fun place to live a meaningful and joyful life in the tradition of compassion and excellence that is standard at Silver Oak. We treat residents as we would our family. Caregiving is our passion.”

She spent 5 years at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla as a wound, ostomy and continence nurse. She is currently the lead wound care nurse at Tri-City Medical center.

“We provide personalized, professional car in luxurious surroundings, and we hire thoughtful, intelligent staff members who are trained to listen with a sensitive ear to the needs of our residents.
