Liz, a Registered Nurse, has been a nurse for over 22 years, has a Masters and is a Clinical Nurse Specialists, working in various aspects of nursing from Pediatric ICU to Hospice Nursing. During that time, her true love became Hospice Nursing and end of life care. During her time as a Hospice nurse, she went into people's homes and had several patients in group homes. As a teenager, she used to make house calls at nursing homes with her father, a physician, and wondered why people who needed assistance couldn't live in a small home-like environment and thus receive more love and attention. The whole idea was reborn when Liz realized that these homes existed and were providing people with an alternative to large facilities.
