How a medically-driven approach improves elder care.
Shelterbelt Care is a different approach to elder services: professional Nurses with formal training in large healthcare systems are at the helm. Their medical expertise and experience opens a window into a person’s health, and reveals where the biggest threats lie.
Welcome to smarter, better care.
I’m Dr. Kathy Johnson— psychologist, gerontologist, caregiver for my 95 year-old mother, and founder of Shelterbelt Care. I am also the founder and former CEO of one of the largest companies in the home care industry—which I operated, expanded and sold over a period of fifteen years.
A few years ago, I moved my Mom from our family home to my home across the country. The most important thing I learned from being responsible for Mom is this: caring for an older adult is too much to tackle on one’s own. It’s hard to know what to do without a background in geriatrics and medicine. The good news—professional nurses stand ready to promote health and support families.
