ABOUT RHONDA GUZMAN
About Me: As an occupational therapist, gerontologist, and dementia care practitioner, I am fortunate to have dedicated my entire professional career to the advocacy and care of our senior population across the healthcare continuum. While I have filled many rewarding leadership and clinical roles in high quality, reputable healthcare, and senior living organizations, I believe that the best way to make a true impact in the lives of our elders is to connect on a personal level, understand each unique situation, and tailor care and support with respect and empathy.
