Gail Isaacs, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), has a passion for care management that stems from her personal experience as a family caregiver. 

Gail’s first career was in Human Resources, but she made the difficult decision to leave her job and become a caregiver for her father when he became ill. 

She studied nursing to become a better advocate not just for her father but also for her mother and brother and found her natural calling in the process.  Gail understands firsthand the struggles families face while trying to navigate the health care maze. 

Gail comes to Guiding Care with over 10 years of experience working with home health agencies as a clinical care coordinator and geriatric care manager. Her goal is to ensure the highest standard of care and quality of living for her clients while also providing families with support and peace of mind.
