Patients Deserve
Hospital-Level Care At Home.

As the Founder of Rice Home Health, with a professional background that spans healthcare leadership, senior care administration, and business management. My path into healthcare was deeply personal, shaped by my experience caring for my father as he lived with dementia and complex medical needs. Like many families, I was faced with difficult decisions without clear guidance or support, which revealed a critical gap in how families are educated, supported, and directed through care. That experience led me into healthcare leadership, where I served as a long-term care administrator overseeing assisted living and memory care communities, followed by roles as a home health and home care administrator. I developed a genuine respect and love for older adults and a deep desire to improve their quality of life. I founded Rice Home Health to deliver patient-centered, value-based care that prioritizes outcomes, compassion, and dignity, ensuring patients and families receive exceptional clinical care, clear guidance, and meaningful support in the place they call home.

As a Strategic Growth Consultant, bringing a decade worth of experience in in-home healthcare, organizational development, and team building. My work has been shaped by a simple belief: when we lead with purpose and put people first, better outcomes naturally follow. Over the past 10 years, I have worked closely within home health environments, gaining a deep understanding of where clarity, alignment, and thoughtful systems can elevate both patient care and provider partnerships. My focus is to help build scalable, mission-driven systems, strengthen clinical and referral relationships, and support our teams in delivering care that aligns with value-based principles. This includes a strong emphasis on low re-hospitalization rates, excellent healing outcomes, clinical excellence, and meaningful patient experiences. I am deeply committed to the clinicians who serve, the providers we partner with, and the patients we care for, and I believe the best results are achieved through servant leadership, clear direction, and purpose-driven collaboration. Serving with heart, healing with honor, and going the extra mile in all that we do.

As the Director of Nursing at Rice Home Health, bringing 23 years of clinical nursing experience and more than 15 years in executive leadership. I was drawn to nursing early in life while helping care for my uncle, who lived with multiple sclerosis and diabetes, with the shared goal of allowing him to remain safely at home for as long as possible. That experience shaped both my clinical foundation and my belief in the power of home-based care. I chose home health because I have seen firsthand that patients often heal better, maintain greater dignity, and experience a higher quality of life in their own homes. Having also navigated personal health challenges, I bring a deeply informed, patient-centered perspective to my leadership. My focus is on meeting patients where they are in their healthcare journey, delivering clinically excellent care, and partnering with physicians and healthcare leaders to achieve meaningful outcomes that support healing, stability, and long-term well-being in the home setting.

As the Director of Patient Access and Clinical Training at Rice Home Health and a Licensed Practical Nurse with over 10 years of healthcare experience. I entered this field after watching family members face serious health complications alone, which instilled in me a deep commitment to ensuring that no patient ever feels unsupported during a vulnerable time. In my role, I focus on creating a seamless, efficient intake and start-of-care process that minimizes delays, reduces clinical risk, and ensures patients receive timely, hands-on care, often within 24 hours of referral. I oversee referral review, clinical readiness, coordination of physician orders, and staff education to ensure continuity from hospital discharge through ongoing home-based care. As I continue advancing my education toward becoming a registered nurse, my goal is to further strengthen our systems, train clinicians with clarity and purpose, and partner with providers and healthcare leaders to deliver patient-first care that prioritizes safety, healing, and long-term outcomes in the home.
