Molly’s interest in the needs of our aging society began approximately ten years ago when she found her mother in need of alternative living arrangements. It had come time for me to do all I could for her needs as she had done for me. I set out on a mission with absolutely no idea what I was doing. Through the process she discovered a desire to bring her newly found tools in to the professional arena of Assisted Living, Hospice Care, Adult Care Home Living and Residential Care Facility living. Through Outreach, Education and Administration, she found herself determined to contribute to the success of quality Elder Care. Molly helps people in Clark, Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties. Molly can be reached at 503-543-4630. |
