As I drive between hospitals, rehab centers, and retirement communities across Northern Virginia in my position at Capital City Nurses, I see the real-world impact of specialized care every day. One thing I’ve learned? Parkinson’s care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our clients living with Parkinson’s and other movement disorders benefit tremendously from our caregivers and nurses who bring years of hands-on experience to the table. Our team members aren’t just familiar with Parkinson’s – they understand how symptoms can change from morning to evening and how to adjust support accordingly. That kind of expertise simply can’t be taught overnight.

My conversations with healthcare partners throughout the day often turn to how we can better serve clients with progressive conditions like Parkinson’s. Whether I’m meeting with a discharge planner at a hospital or chatting with the wellness director at a retirement community, the goal is always the same – helping people maintain their independence and dignity at home. I love being able to say, “Yes, we have caregivers and nurses who specifically understand Parkinson’s care” and seeing the relief on their faces. It’s those moments that bring purpose and meaning to our work.

Of course, my door is always open for a conversation about how Capital City Nurses or any of our other care companies might be able to help. As we were recently reminded during Parkinson’s Awareness Month, this disease affects an estimated 1.1 million Americans, with a further 90,000 being diagnosed each year. While Parkinson’s Awareness Month comes once a year, it is important to keep it front-and-center, and our commitment to providing high-quality care for those living with this condition is year-round. It’s what gets me out the door each morning, ready to connect the right care with the people who need it most.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Nearly 90,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with Parkinson’s each year. Scientists believe a combination of environmental and genetic factors are to blame. There is currently no cure for this disease, so raising awareness is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment, improving quality of life for those living with Parkinson’s, and funding research for a cure.

James Parkinson is credited as having first identified the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease more than 200 years ago. Since then, we have made considerable progress towards understanding what causes the motor symptoms we most associate with this disease. We now recognize a spectrum of non-motor symptoms as part of Parkinson’s that were not originally associated with that disease.

But what is Parkinson’s? You may have heard of people with Parkinson’s having dementia-like symptoms; is it a form of dementia?

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system. It was originally described based on a set of motor symptoms such as tremor while at rest, increased muscle tone and rigidity, and slowness of movement. Over time, Parkinson’s patients may develop problems walking, talking and swallowing. They may experience fatigue, sleep disorders, as well as memory and cognitive problems.

Here are some early signs of Parkinson’s. Remember, no single one of these symptoms means you should worry. But if you have multiple symptoms, talk with your doctor.

1. Tremors, often in the hands or fingers.
2. Small handwriting.
3. Loss of smell.
4. Trouble sleeping.
5. Trouble moving or walking, including stiffness and balance problems.
6. Constipation.
7. A soft or low voice.
8. Facial Masking, meaning a reduction of facial expressions.
9. Dizziness or fainting.
10. Stooping or hunching over.

To help Parkinson’s patients manage their symptoms, here are some tips:

• Build Your Care Team: Taking a patient-centered approach to healthcare is essential. No two Parkinson’s patients are the same, so it’s important to build a healthcare team that understands and helps manage your symptoms and quality of life.
• Exercise: People with Parkinson’s who exercise for 2.5 hours per week experience a slowed decline in quality of life. Aerobic activity, stretching, strength training, and balance/agility/multi-tasking exercises can keep you moving well.
• Medication: Since most Parkinson’s symptoms are caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain, many Parkinson’s drugs are aimed at either temporarily replenishing, or mimicking the action of, dopamine.
• Diet & Nutrition: Food! What you eat, how much and when, can impact how you live well with Parkinson’s.

Due to the common memory and cognitive problems, which affect about half of all Parkinson’s patients, the term “Parkinson’s disease dementia” has been adopted. The term dementia means that a person has “permanent cognitive changes that are significant enough to impact daily living.” The combination of movement and cognitive impairments can be particularly challenging and may limit a Parkinson’s patient’s ability to participate in social settings and perform basic activities.

Changes in the structure and chemistry of the brain can cause memory and thinking problems in Parkinson’s patients. Alpha-synuclein, a protein that is central to Parkinson’s, forms sticky clumps, called Lewy Bodies, that can disrupt normal brain functioning and lead to dementia. Because of this, the term “Lewy Body dementia” may sometimes be used.

Lewy Body occurs first in higher brain regions, causing problems with attention, memory and hallucinations, before the common motor symptoms of Parkinson’s may even develop.

Lewy Body dementia includes two different types of related dementias, distinguished by which symptoms start when:

1. Parkinson’s disease dementia: diagnosed when a person living with Parkinson’s experiences significant cognitive decline after a year or more of motor symptoms.
2. Dementia with Lewy Bodies – diagnosed when cognitive decline is the earliest symptom, or when cognitive decline and motor symptoms begin and progress together.

A lot of people ask me what the difference is between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s or other dementias. As I learned a few years ago when obtaining my dementia advisor certification, “all Alzheimer’s is dementia but not all dementias are Alzheimer’s.” The advanced cognitive changes that impact daily living in both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s mean they are BOTH different types of dementia.

• Alzheimer’s causes declines in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Alzheimer’s is diagnosed by physicians, neurologists, neuropsychologists, geriatricians, and geriatric psychiatrists.
• Parkinson’s disease dementia tends to be less disabling than Alzheimer’s disease. People with Alzheimer’s disease have language difficulties earlier than people with Parkinson’s, and they are unable to form new memories unlike in Parkinson’s.
• While Alzheimer’s disease is the most well-known form of dementia, there is also vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Some patients develop multiple types of dementia, which is known as “mixed dementia.” There are also rare types of dementia, caused by diseases and medications.

3. Genetic Testing and Counseling Study: PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease is a global research study that provides genetic testing and counseling at no cost for people with Parkinson’s.
4. PF Library: Explore books, podcasts, fact sheets, videos, and more.
5. Hospital Safety Guide: This guide is a resource for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners, filled with useful tools to prepare for a hospital stay, either planned or unplanned.

I would be remiss in highlighting Parkinson’s Awareness Month if I did not also mention the Guide Program, of which Care Advantage is the personal care provider for Medicare in Virginia! The “Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience” (GUIDE) Model is a pioneer program announced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2024, designed to support people living with dementia and their caregivers. The goal is to improve the quality of life for those affected by dementia while also easing the burden on caregivers.

Thinking about Parkinson’s, and often the related dementia symptoms, the Guide Program could provide much needed respite benefits for Parkinson’s patients and their families!

To qualify for the Guide Program, a patient must be:

• Showing signs of a decline in mental functioning or formally diagnosed with a disease that impacts cognitive abilities.
• Receiving support from family or friends that could benefit from relief.
• Enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B with Medicare as primary payer (patients enrolled with Medicare Advantage plans, Pace, or hospice are not eligible).

To learn more about Care Advantage’s role in the Guide Program and how your loved one might qualify, please call our Client Services at 866.323.9464 or visit us at www.careadvantageinc.com.

I come from a very large family that prides itself on taking care of each other. My parents raised me with an emphasis on how important Character is. To this day, I believe if you are going to do something, you do it to the best of your ability. Put others first and meet them where they are at. Follow through on what you say you will do. Treat everyone with the same respect you would want to be shown yourself, even in difficult situations. I believe that being raised in this way, and seeing it modeled by my parents and extended family, is a huge contributor to where I am today and the success I have achieved in healthcare over the past 12 years.

My background is in Marketing. When I had to choose an area to start my career in, I knew that I would sleep best at night if I spent my days helping people. I didn’t want to push anything on someone that they don’t want or need. I want to provide people with something that will make a difference in their lives. That is where I find fulfillment. So, I reached out to like-minded friends and family and was encouraged to get into healthcare. It was the best advice I could have been given.

I started out as Director of Marketing and Admissions for a skilled nursing community here in Virginia. Every day I would get to meet with people in need of both long- and short-term care. I was amazed at the strength of the relationships I started to build with the residents and how much I enjoyed hearing their stories. They had accumulated a lot of wisdom over the years, and I began to realize how important it was for them to have someone to share it with.

After some time, I was missing my large family and was able to find a job in medical sales back in New England. When my grandfather suddenly passed in 2018, it left my grandmother alone in her home. They have huge gardens and a house heated by a woodstove that made it hard for my grandmother to keep up, as hard of a worker as she is. I felt the urge to move in with her to be able to help in any way that I could. During that time, it made me realize how much I missed the connections I had working closely with seniors who didn’t have access to the strong family support that I have been lucky enough to have.

I got married in 2020 to the most amazing woman and we both felt like we needed to move back to Virginia. This gave me an opportunity to get back to the connections that I so missed. I was able to move into a role as a Director of Marketing and Community Relations of an amazing senior living community. Again, I found myself in a position to help those in need. Most people don’t think about what life will look like for senior citizens until it is an emergency and help is needed immediately. I love being able to bring peace to those situations, and I find fulfilment in being a guide in those times.

In 2022, I was able to become a part of the team of Care Advantage—and what an opportunity it has been. I don’t just get to help seniors in one community, but I get to help people wherever they call home. I get to meet people exactly where they are and can help navigate whatever circumstances they are facing. Care Advantage is the best company I have ever worked for because they understand how important every person on our team is in meeting the needs of everyone we care for. They set all of us up for success and make sure our needs are met so that the entire team can go out and be the best version of themselves for our patients. This is a company of Character. We make a difference in people’s lives. We put others first. We follow through on what we say, and we treat everyone with respect in all situations. It has been extremely fulfilling to be a part of a team like this.

SOCIAL WORK MONTH 2025

Social workers serve others. They do so while respecting the other person, recognizing the importance of human relations and social justice. And that is why Social Work Month, observed every March, is a great time to recognize and highlight this important field of work!

So let me start this out by saying THANK YOU! Thank you for all that you social workers do, today and every day, this month and every month, all year long. Social workers are out there making a difference by doing the hard work all the time, making a difference in our world. They care and put that care into action for patients, clients, families, groups, and organizations. Thank you for persevering to do this vital work!

The 2025 Theme for Social Work Month is “Social Work: Compassion + Action.” What a great theme for highlighting the caring and action of every day in the life of a social worker!

A Google search of the word “compassion” results in “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with the desire to alleviate it.” This goes beyond just having empathy for someone; it is the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another person, and working to alleviate that suffering. Wow!

Many social workers specialize in helping specific populations of people. Most of the social workers we work with at Care Advantage focus on patient care and support for older adults. They help patients and families understand diagnosis, what it means for their future, and what support there may be available. They utilize resources to help them, like making referrals to health care agencies, finding support groups, or even connecting them with construction companies that do home modifications.

Social workers in a hospital or skilled nursing facility are often referred to as discharge planners. They work with patients and families on the next steps. This could be a discharge to another facility for continued rehabilitation or to a senior living community, such as assisted living or memory care). Or it could be a discharge to home with agencies to support them, like either home health, palliative care, hospice care, and/or personal care (by Care Advantage!).

You will encounter social workers in many aspects of health care, schools, and in community program settings. You may have spoken with one but just never realized the importance of their role!

Not only is March Social Work Month, but March 18th is World Social Work Day. The International Federation of Social Workers has designated the theme of social work day as “Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Well-Being.”

If you are a social worker, what do these themes mean to you? How do you maintain that compassion over the years of a career, and how are you passing it to future generations of social workers? We would love to hear from you!

Join me in saying another THANK YOU to our wonderful social workers!

Ah, February. The month where love is in the air and there are hearts everywhere! And that is why February is known as Heart Month!

The American Heart Association (AHA) puts the focus on heart health awareness each February, because heart disease is a leading cause of death in the US. Heart Month encourages individuals to focus on their cardiovascular health and take steps to improve their heart health overall.

In more recent years, the AHA has put a special focus on women’s heart health. They host Go Red for Women events, and every year there is a Wear Red Day around February 6th or 7th.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer of women. Nearly 45% of women aged 20 plus are living with some form of cardiovascular disease, and only half of women entering pregnancy in the United States have optimal cardiovascular health. Women experience unique life stages, such as pregnancy and menopause, that can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

I’m sure you have all seen these “signs and symptoms” lists before, but they definitely bear repeating here:

*Signs and symptoms of heart attack

1. Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
2. Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
3. Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
4. Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

And did you know that in addition, there is a “silent heart attack?” A silent heart attack is often chalked up to symptoms of stress or anxiety, and often dismissed. Just like any other heart attack, there is a blockage of blood flow to a section of the heart. Symptoms later discovered to have been a heart attack include indigestion, flu-like feelings, a feeling like a strained muscle in the chest or upper back, or discomfort in the jaw, upper back or arms. Because a silent heart attack often leaves scarring and damage, it puts a person at higher risk of other heart problems. And because the person didn’t know to seek treatment, blood flow to the heart might not have been restored quickly, no medications were administered, and the impact could be greater.

If you think you may be having a heart attack, please get help immediately and advocate for yourself! It’s also not a bad idea to bring someone to advocate for you, so that the heart attack isn’t mistaken for a panic attack or something else.

*Signs and symptoms of stroke

1. Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
2. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
3. Sudden trouble seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes
4. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
5. Sudden severe headache with no known cause

If you ever experience any of the signs and symptoms of either a heart attack or a stroke, please call 911 immediately!

While you can always play Google MD to learn more about what predisposes someone to being more prone to heart disease, most of us already know that family history as well as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking are all contributing factors. Heart failure may still hit the healthiest of people and is a diagnosis that has a big impact on that person’s life. How well someone does depends upon the type of cardiac problem, the involved medical care, and the support provided by family and friends.

Daily assistance for loved ones with a heart condition is so important, and Care Advantage provides that much-needed extra layer of support. A caregiver can help patients remain stable when things are under control and can also recognize the signs that things might be getting out of hand. This allows early medical intervention to occur, getting things back on track. Our caregivers weigh heart failure patients daily to check for fluid retention, and make sure medications are taken on the proper schedule.

For stroke patients, we help them regain mobility and can assist with feeding, and we converse with them to aid in speech improvement. We oversee heart healthy lifestyle changes, ensuring proper diet, hydration, exercise, and more. We can accompany patients to doctor appointments, list to the explanations, and take notes for the patient and family. And should there be any negative changes in status, we recognize when a call to the doctor is warranted, or if the patient should go to the hospital. This daily assistance alleviates acute episodes and improves longer term outcomes.

In the spirit of Heart Month, take a minute to thank your ticker for all that it does for you every single day. And take another minute to think about how you can improve your health to ensure your heart has many more years of ticking right along!

When I was first asked to write a “Day in the Life” article about myself, my immediate reaction was: Nope! I thought, what would I even say? Where would I start? But then, the answer came to me loud and clear—start from the beginning!

I am a wife to my husband Michael and a mom to two wonderful sons, James and Daniel. I’m a sister to three amazing siblings and an aunt to five nieces and one nephew. Healthcare runs in my blood—literally! My mom is a Registered Nurse, my dad is an Occupational Therapist, and my brother, sister-in-law, and sister are all Physical Therapists. With that kind of family, it’s no surprise that I found myself in healthcare, even if I took a different path. They’ve all helped me navigate the clinical side of this industry—so much so that I joke I know just enough to play a nurse on TV!

My journey began in 2006, when I took my first position at a CCRC (Continuum of Care Retirement Community) as a Unit Secretary for a 200+ bed Assisted Living facility. That role kept me on my toes! It was fast-paced, ever-changing, and full of learning moments. I had to keep up, and I did—quickly.

After a year, I transitioned to their sister community, where I enrolled in their Management Program. This was an exciting chapter of my career because I had the opportunity to learn the role of every manager in the community. That’s right—every single one! I spent eight months soaking up knowledge before settling into the Business Office, where I would spend the next three years.

During this time, I somehow managed to juggle a full-time job while earning two master’s degrees—an MBA and a master’s in healthcare administration. Looking back, I was a very busy young lady!

After five years at the CCRC, I was ready for my next adventure. I became a Clinic Director at Planned Parenthood—just four blocks from the White House! It was an eye-opening experience, but I quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for me.

Next, I transitioned into a role with a Home Health company in Washington, DC, as a Community Liaison. This position required me to understand the work of Registered Nurses, Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Home Health Aides—good thing I had a built-in family network to guide me! I learned so much about supporting healthcare providers and the profound impact our services have on patients’ lives.

I was later promoted to Director of Business Development, where I helped build a team of Community Liaisons. I spent eight wonderful years meeting new people, helping patients one by one, and building strong relationships throughout the DMV.

Enter: Capital City Nurses.

By 2019, I was ready for a new challenge. That is when I was offered an opportunity at Capital City Nurses—just three months before the world shut down due to COVID. But that’s a story for another day!

My role at Capital City Nurses has been incredibly rewarding. Every day, I have the privilege of connecting families with the care they need. My mornings start with my children—getting them off to school and having a light breakfast with my husband. Then, it’s off to work—emails, texts, morning meetings, and a glance at my calendar before heading out on the road. I spend my days meeting with accounts, connecting with potential clients, and walking them through the care journey before they even meet their first caregiver.

I also spend time coordinating care with my office, ensuring that every client gets the best possible experience. I love what I do, and I can’t believe I’ve already spent five years with Capital City Nurses. As they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun!” Every day, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the DMV community and truly thank God for this journey.

After work, I shift back into mom mode—whether that means heading to basketball practice with my boys or enjoying dinner at home. Then the next morning, I start it all over again—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you for reading, and for allowing me to share A Day in My Life!

A Q&A with the new CEO of Care Advantage, Inc.

What can you tell us about yourself?

My hometown is St. Louis, where many of my closest friends still reside. Today, I live with my wife, Leslie, and our two sons, Ethan and Dylan, along with our two dogs, Hunter and Meadow. Ethan is finishing high school and will begin his first year at the University of Alabama this fall, while Dylan is starting high school. Both are dedicated students, athletes, and gentlemen, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.

Professionally, I have spent my career scaling healthcare organizations and driving transformative growth. As President of PT Solutions, a national physical therapy company, we expanded to over 500 locations and built strategic partnerships with 10 major health systems. Before that, I played a key role in growing US Radiology Specialists, where I led platform development that fueled strong organic growth and the successful acquisition and integration of 13 companies. The business ultimately encompassed 177 imaging centers—including 78 joint ventures with health systems—and 85 hospital-based imaging sites across 13 states.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, whether attending sporting events, traveling, or simply relaxing together.

What excites you about leading Care Advantage, Inc. as CEO?

What excites me most is the opportunity to lead a company with a deeply ingrained culture of care. Even in my short time here, it has become clear that Care Advantage truly lives by its mission and values, which I greatly admire.

I’m honored to be part of a team so passionate and invested in its mission. From the caregivers who deliver exceptional support to the operations teams who ensure seamless service, every individual plays a critical role in empowering people to live with dignity and independence. The dedication and heart that drive this organization are what make it truly special.

What is Care Advantage, Inc.’s greatest strength and most significant opportunity?

Our greatest strength lies in three core areas: our people, our market-leading technology stack, and our extensive partner ecosystem. Combining these elements enables us to deliver best-in-class care and continually enhance our support to clients and families.

Looking ahead, 2025 presents an incredible opportunity for supercharged growth. With a strong operational foundation and a reputation for innovation, we are positioned to expand organically and through mergers and acquisitions. This will be a year of unprecedented momentum for Care Advantage as we extend our reach and bring our high-quality care to even more individuals and communities.

What will be your top priorities as CEO?

My top priority is to build on the strong foundation that has made Care Advantage a leader in home care. That means fostering our culture, investing in our teams, and expanding our services to meet the growing demand for high-quality, in-home care.

We already serve a large and diverse client base across multiple states, but the opportunity to scale our impact even further is significant. By continuing to innovate and strengthen our partnerships, we can ensure more families have access to the exceptional care that defines Care Advantage.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I strongly advocate for youth sports, as my sons are athletes. Sports teach invaluable perseverance, teamwork, and leadership lessons, and I love supporting them from the sidelines. I also enjoy traveling with my family—whether a beach getaway or a ski trip—and making the most of our time together.

Care Advantage, Inc. Announces CEO Transition

As Care Advantage, Inc. enters its next growth phase, we are pleased to announce the following transition in our Leadership Team. Tim Hanold will pass the baton to Dave Wagnon, who will step in as our new Chief Executive Officer.
