Martha’s interest in helping students come from her years of experience with her own children, whose academic needs spanned the learning spectrum. Read more about how this influenced Martha’s teaching philosophy, and how she uses this knowledge to benefit students at the training center. 

​

Martha’s lifelong passion for helping others began in high school when she worked as a nursing assistant in a nursing home. She and her peers would see to it that the residents were washed, dressed, and comfortable so they could meet in the day room for socializing and activities, creating joy for both residents and her peers. 

​

Martha has worked in the healthcare industry for many years. She became an RN in 1979 and graduated from Emmanuel College in 1989 with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing.

​

Over the years, Martha gained experience working in acute care, chronic care, and rehabilitation hospitals. After working as a community nurse, and later as home health aide manager and instructor of home care assistants, Martha opened Best Home Care N’ More in 1999 and continues to lead as CEO.

​

Martha acquired Health and Home Care Training Center of Massachusetts, LLC. in 2012. Since that time, Martha has been setting a new standard for home health aides and nursing assistants to be respected professionals.

Martha enjoys traveling on the west coast with her son who lives in San Francisco, spending time with her daughter and grandchildren, and being in Florida during the cold winter months.
