Julie Ann Anderson - Owner

Julie Ann has been a part of caring for our Sonoma County elderly since 1998. After being the primary caregiver for elderly family members along side with having been trained as an EMT; she realized she wanted to go further in creating something that was meaningful, had purpose and helped others. She saw first hand the enormous need to keeping our elderly safe and in their own homes where they can age in place with dignity and respect.

Sheri Lang - HR and Office Manager

Sheri began caring for the elderly in the 1980s as a CNA in skilled nursing facilities while earning her BA degree at Sonoma State University. While helping to care for her grandmother at home in the 1990's, she worked through the challenges that families are faced when looking for a caregiver for their loved ones. Before moving into our Staffing Manager position in 2011, she worked as a CAREgiver for Home Instead. Her background gives her a natural instinct for matching the best CAREgiver for each client and, with our amazing pool of CAREgivers, that perfect match is easy to find!

Lana Fennell - Marketing Director

Lana has been helping seniors find appropriate resources in several capacities over the last two decades. She started working with seniors as an owner of a durable medical equipment company. Later she became a marketing representative or community services representative for agencies supplying home health services, long term care insurance, medical supplies and now non-medical home care services. She is passionate about helping seniors stay in their own homes independently.

Shelly Silva - Staffing Manager

Shelly was accepted into the nursing program at the Santa Rosa Junior College after graduating from high school.  While going to school, she cared for the elderly while working swing shifts at a local convalescent home.  After losing her grandparents, and then her mother at a young age, she came to realize that caring for her loved ones and those in need, is much more important than worrying about tomorrow!  She knows first hand the challenges of caring for a loved one.  She lives in Rohnert Park with her husband of 20 years and two beautiful children.  She works closely with her father to make sure they “both” stay out of trouble!
In her spare time she volunteers as a Girl Scout Troop Leader, serves on the Disaster Committee at her daughter’s school and is an active member of the Gymnastics Boosters of the North Bay.
