Twenty years ago, while attending the University of Kentucky to be a Social Worker, Emily was approached to help with a friend’s elderly relative who needed home healthcare. Little did she know when she accepted the position of how drastically her life would change as well as her career path. She immediately saw a need and realized she had a passion for working with patients and their families seeking a better quality of life for loved ones.
Over the years, Emily has seen much change not only in care and treatments but in diseases. Alzheimer’s disease, combined with other illnesses, is by far the number one problem she encounters today. As studies show, these patients can live long lives. The one constant in Emily’s approach to home healthcare is not only taking care of each patient’s physical wellbeing but understanding that their mental well being is essential. Anyone who has had the experience of working with Emily will tell you that her number one strength is getting her patients up, dressed, and out. Taking them to the movies, theater, lunch, dinner, basketball or football games, or museums whatever they like she is game. Patients love her as do their families… she gives each patient dignity along with a little fun!
Emily’s solid reputation and personal success have led to the opening of Emily’s Concierge Caregiving. Emily’s team is handpicked and trained by her. Emily’s Concierge Caregiving is devoted to rehabilitating aged and disabled individuals within the confines of their residence to maximize their contributions and fulfill their goals as a family member and member of society with little conflict. In accomplishing this, Emily feels that the self-respect of each individual can and will be enhanced.
Emily’s extensive experience is apparent as she grows a business focusing on genuinely caring for patients and hiring skilled professional personnel. Her hands-on approach allows her to match the right caregiver for each family and oversee and customize a patient’s care. Training is on-going and individual guidelines are set for each client.
Emily, in her free time, enjoys needlepoint, home design, decorating, and gardening. Being a Lexington native, she does enjoy UK basketball.
Under Emily’s direction, Emily and her talented team are ready to help those needing home healthcare. In this fast-paced world, knowledge is imperative, and keeping up with current treatments not only for a patient’s physical well being but treating each individual in a dignified, caring way is critical to their living quality, meaningful lives.
