Therese Parks RN, BSN, NC-BC 

  Senior Wellness Nurse Coach

 

Hello!

​

I’m so thankful you are here!  I have been a Registered Nurse for over 30 years. I’ve worked in the hospital in Open Heart, Medical and Surgical Intensive Care Units, for a Major Insurance Carrier, then found my heart in the Home Healthcare setting. 

​

I loved being a Home Healthcare RN for many  years.  When I heard about the new specialty of Nurse Coaching, I knew it was a perfect fit for my dream to help seniors and their families.​  Becoming a Board Certified Nurse Coach has given me the opportunity to partner with adult children navigating health challenges of their loved ones. 

​

When seniors and their adult children organize health information it can promote better overall healthcare:

• More efficient and safe care

• Better communication with your medical providers

• Fall prevention 

• Limit health complications

• Promote senior independence

• Avoid hospitalizations

 

There are so many basic things that can help your parents' health.  The first is to get organized to figure out what is happening with their health and make a plan to move forward!  This was my favorite part of homecare nursing!   At the first visit, I helped patients and their families to get organized, better understand their condition and care, and make a plan to move forward.  When I left their home, I felt their sign of relief. 

​

I can help you and your loved one feel that same relief.
