Founder & Clinical Director

Natasha Ciminello, RN, MHA

Natasha's experience includes over two decades of hands-on care, which was primarily with the elderly and the disabled populations in critical care, emergency medicine, and trauma.  Natasha spent a majority of her nursing career working in the ER. During her time there she found a passion for elder care and when she was approached with this business model she jumped at the chance.  She loves that she can help our clients age in place as well as prevent hospitalizations. In addition to nursing, she also has a master’s in healthcare administration and enjoys incorporating both aspects into Caring Households. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband and 2 kids, gardening, exercising and baking.
