Laura Silverstein, MSN, RN, WCC, CDP, is True Care’s Director of Patient Services and oversees the PCA Certification Program. She loves home care because Caregivers build deep, long-term relationships with their clients, in contrast to hospital workers who are constantly coming and going. She has 17+ years experience working in various home care settings over the past 10 years but has a special place in her heart for True Care.
“We focus a lot on the initial matchmaking between Caregiver and patient. First and foremost, we look for individuals who are passionate about caring for others. Patients have so much to share and they want a Caregiver who’s interested in who they are beyond their health condition.”
