Lisa started with Home Instead SLO County as a caregiver in 2014.  She was hired from within to Client Care Coordinator in 2017 and is currently the Client Care Manager.  As a caregiver she found that caring for others and our aging community was her passion.  Working with our clients and being a part of their care, quality of life and the aging process gives her purpose in life.  In her free time, she enjoys spending time with loved ones in a variety of activities any playing beach volleyball with friends.
