Maggie is the jack of all trades and fabulous at it all. She is dedicated to the healthcare field and has worked in many areas from the Hospitals to Long-term care facilities, home health care, and more.

She landed at her love with Hospice Care about eight years ago. Maggie loves caring for people as well as being a support for their family. Maggie is amazing from the personal care she gives to her personal touch with activities of daily living and more. Maggie is a social light and proves time and time again that she is a team player as she is always willing to pick up or help out whenever a need arises.

She is kind with her care and ensures her patients are fresh and clean with safe environments and have no needs before she departs. Maggie travels from sites to homes and to the office delivering great care and supplies as needs arise without complaining.
