Training Wheels Off For PD

Starting the process of finding a safe and individually fitting senior living community based on care needs, finances, environment, location, and preferences can feel overwhelming - don’t do it alone! Jill Grinnell has over 30 years of experience working with seniors and their families. She started her career after graduating from Mt. Mary University with a degree in Business Communications and Marketing with an emphasis in Gerontology. Jill’s first job in the Senior Care industry was as a Marketing and Activities Director at residential care homes. From there she fell in love with the concept of having care, compassion, socialization and security under one roof for seniors that otherwise would be alone or in long-term care. From there she explored other opportunities and had a variety of roles through the years as Executive Director, Memory Care Director, Life Enrichment Specialist, and Regional Director of Sales and Marketing. What has always mattered most to her has been her connection with seniors and their families while making a difference in their lives. As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, her most recent venture was opening a Montessori-based Adult Day Center that grouped individuals based on their cognitive abilities and provided a secure environment throughout the day along with meaningful programming. Jill also is a support group facilitator for the Alzheimer’s Association, Mild Cognitive Impairment Groups, and Caregiver Support Groups. She is a current student of Leadership Sarasota Class of 2024. She is the proud mother of two boys, Zach (26) and Riley (19), and when she is not working, she is cheering on her son Riley at Special Olympics games or Challenger baseball.
