ABOUT LAURA L. MORGAN

Laura first became interested in the
elder-care field based on personal
experiences with her father, who

"Laura is patient, considerate, asks
clear questions, and uses good
humor well . . . . She often has to
make assessments that can be quite
daunting, but she has a way of
interviewing seniors which puts
them at ease, so that they open up
to her. Laura is particularly skilled
with very complex cases, always
staying focused on the big picture
while not missing a single detail."

her beloved aunt, and an older friend
whose care she began managing.

She is a certified RCFE (Retirement Care Facility for the Elderly) administrator (CA license #5563603740) and is also an associate member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM). She was accepted into NAPGCM based on her certification, continuing education, and extensive case management experience at Glendale Memorial Hospital's geriatric psychiatry program. During her nearly two years at the hospital, Laura worked closely with older adults experiencing a wide range of age-related medical as well as behavioral-health issues such as chronic depression, dementia/Alzheimer's and bi-polar disorder. She provided education and support to family members, and also did extensive community outreach in an effort to de-stigmatize behavioral health issues and promote understanding of them.

Laura is a strong advocate for her clients, striving to give them the highest possible quality of life regardless of physical and/or behavioral limitations. She is a frequent speaker at professional organizations and local businesses on the subject of Caring for Aging Loved Ones. She is also a California-approved instructor of a course on Identifying and Treating Depression in Older Adults.

Before entering the elder-care field, Laura was the Director of

Communications and Media Spokesperson for the Los Angeles
Times. She graduated Cum Laude from Immaculate Heart
College in Los Angeles, where she earned her BA in Sociology.
