Sharon makes other people's quality of life a priority in all aspects of her own life. After years of working within the hospital setting of the healthcare industry in management positions, in 2000 sharon was the first to bring a Home Instead Senior Care franchise to Fairfield County. A longtime advocate for the elderly outside of her job, Sharon was ill herself when she realized how difficult it was for independent people to rely on others for care. She decided to launch her own nonmedical homecare agency and found that the global company Home Instead Senior Care embodied the services and quality of care she wanted to bring to the Connecticut people. Sharon has always had a love of animals, gardening and bird watching. These hobbies have been with her in one way or another for a long time. She says her love for animals has helped her in her work and relationships with the elderly for many years. "I did volunteer work at connecticut Hospice in the early 80s." Many of the terminally ill patients were elderly. I found that talking about bird watching, their pets at home and gardening were very safe, soothing topics to discuss." "The elderly have taught me so many things through those conversations and throughout my life. I want to give them something back."

I first joined the Home Instead Senior Care team in June 2005 as a staff coordinator. I also assisted with the recruitment and retention of caregiver's, a responsibility I find both enjoyable and beneficial when choosing the "right" caregiver for our clients. Before joining Home Instead Senior Care, I held numerous CNA and staffing positions in home care agencies and skilled nursing homes in lower Fairfield County. Because I have worked in different healthcare environments, I appreciate the home Instead Senior Care mission: "To provide affordable non-medical companionship and in-home care services to seniors enabling them to remain living  "home instead" for a longer period of time". I believe in this mission, and do my part daily to fulfill that for the organization, and most importantly, for our clients and their loved ones.
