If you have ever been involved in the assisted living industry in the greater Orlando, FL area, we’ve probably met.  I’ve worked for you or with you; hired you or let you go; shared happy stories and many tears.  After over 20 years in the business of assisted living, chances are very good that I’ve cared for someone you know or love.  The possibility that our paths have crossed is very, very good.

By 2020 the percentage of older adults is expected to grow 35 percent and number more than 54 million. Couple that with the fact that the 85 and older group is now the fastest growing segment of society. These demographics unfortunately bring with them many realities including soaring rates of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
