About the Home

Her home is shared with her Pomeranian named Diamond and is a place of safety, comfort, and care. Tammy’s home is an environment where individuals can thrive with the right level of support and independence. The house is a newly renovated brick ranch-style home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with a fenced yard.

Her philosophy is grounded in a lifetime of caregiving. What she finds most meaningful is forming real connections with the people she supports and helping them live fulfilling, self-directed lives. Now retired from a decades-long career in healthcare, Tammy is excited to offer more individualized care in a warm, home-based setting. She believes that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
