My Clients Should Know
My best advice to people with a relative in a nursing home is to keep a record of everything. It is critical to keep track of details about the type of care your loved one is receiving. I suggest keeping a journal to record who, what, when, where, and how any negative incidents happen.
Personal Information
My grandmother was a gourmet cook, and she taught me the love of cooking. Before going to law school, I was a chef at a vegetarian restaurant in Chapel Hill.
I also love to hike, play tennis, read, garden, practice yoga, and hang out with friends.
