Meet Our Team

​Gisela, the President and owner of our company, has always dreamed of having a small business of her own. Not just any business however, but one that made a difference. One day, while listening to a report on NPR about the aging baby boomer population she saw the opportunity to marry her two passions, business and caring for seniors. Gisela does not take for granted the fact that our customers are allowing us to come into their homes. Having an aging mother herself for whom she cares for personally, she knows firsthand the concerns her clients face and is quick to address them. Constant and open communication is key. "The main thing we do is listen", she affirms. Gisela is certified by The Society of Certified Senior Advisors. She is married, has two daughters, and four grandchildren.
