Lou Ann is a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from California State University, Long Beach and has a Masters in Business Administration from the University of LaVerne in California. She started her acute-care nursing career in 1983 at Long Beach Memorial Hospital which provided invaluable clinical and management experience. She has 15 years of experience working for Bristol-Myers Squibb in the pharmaceutical and medical products industry.

When her mother was admitted to hospice in 2001, Lou Ann provided the necessary nursing care, but most importantly realized how vital personal interaction and emotional support positively impacts the well-being of individuals facing a loss of independence. Upon moving to Georgia in 2004, Lou Ann began working as a Medical Case Manager for several insurance companies providing assessments, care coordination and referrals for clients and their families. Her most recent role as a Clinical Advisor for Humana Senior Products for the state of Georgia provided her with the additional expertise to assist the elderly improve their quality of life through clinical assessment, education, and empowerment.

After several years of performing in-home medical assessments for long-term care companies and feeling a commitment to help the elderly age with dignity and help them to remain at home for as long as possible, Lou Ann decided to join with Erich to start their own home care agency. She feels strongly about the importance of having compassionate, capable and energetic caregivers working with her to provide a real and lasting difference in the lives of those in need while encouraging their independence.

Alpharetta, Georgia is now Lou Ann’s home where she has raised her 3 children; Rebecca, who is a recent graduated from Mercer University and is now pursuing a doctorate degree at Indiana University, Rachel who is a Junior at the University of Georgia and Garrett, a Senior at Chattahoochee High School. Her attention has been focused mainly on her family, but in her spare time she loves to bake, read, spend time with friends, travel and volunteer.
