About me
With a career spanning over five decades, Diane Carbo, a licensed registered nurse, has dedicated her life to the advocacy and support of older adults and their families. Her professional journey has taken her through various community settings, enriching her experience and shaping her holistic approach to long-term health care planning and crisis management.
Diane's passion for her work is deeply personal, rooted in her own experiences as a family caregiver. Witnessing her grandmother's decline in a nursing home inspired a lifelong commitment: to empower aging individuals to maintain their independence at home, surrounded by comfort, familiarity, and love.
Her philosophy was profoundly embodied in her father's end-of-life journey. Diane championed his wish to spend his final weeks in Hawaii, demonstrating her belief in hospice's role in cherishing life. This personal testament underscored her conviction that fulfilling such wishes can significantly uplift one's spirit, even in the face of life's final transition.
Today, Diane is a beacon of support for those treading the often turbulent waters of caregiving, particularly for families grappling with dementia care. She acknowledges the solitude and challenges they face, striving to transform their journey into one of trust, confidence, and mutual growth. Through effective communication strategies and empathy, she guides caregivers in fostering a nurturing environment, enhancing the well-being of both the caregiver and recipient.
In this course, Diane brings not only her extensive clinical expertise but also a reservoir of personal wisdom. She recognizes the impending difficulties on the caregiving path but stands with you, ready to navigate each challenge with grace, resilience, and unwavering support.
Join Diane on this transformative journey, designed to equip you with the skills, understanding, and courage required to provide compassionate care while preserving your own well-being. Embrace this opportunity to enhance your caregiving experience, fostering a deeper, more enriching connection with your loved one.
