About Me
Having a heart for serving the elderly and disabled was my motivation to start Compassionate Care Referral Services, Inc in 2008. I wanted to fill the need I witnessed in Kootenai County of helping clients or families who have the sometimes overwhelming task of finding suitable care help from a wide variety of businesses.
Over the past 12 years, Compassionate Care Referral Services has be embraced as a streamlined approach to navigating unique care situations, making it possible to make the best decision for your loved one.
My Microbiology Laboratory Technician experience at Coeur d’ Alene Doctor offices, plus raising my family with my husband Wally on our Ranch in this caring community for the past 34 years, has prepared me with the knowledge and experience to help the elderly and their families with life transition decisions in Northern Idaho.
