Anne Harbison Lucas brings a wide variety of experience to her practice of geriatric care management.  She began her professional life as a Special Education Teacher - a discipline which promotes starting from known realities, working with what is at hand, and then aiming high for results.  When the teaching profession and the educational system changed, Anne chose to enter the business world - where she eventually produced and managed her own high-technology OEM professional conferences and trade shows.  Those years in business acquainted her with the more practical side of life and introduced her to a wide range of regional, cultural, and personality styles. 

 

Anne returned to her social service roots by earning a graduate degree in gerontology, and subsequently incorporated her business skills with her training in senior services as director of several long-term care communities.  During that ten year period, and in coordination with the medical community, she learned how best to deal with memory-loss and related complications, to manage and treat chronic illnesses, and to minimize caregiver hardship and stress.  Concurrently, her volunteer work with a local non-profit hospice was one of the happiest and most rewarding experiences of her career.   

 

Since 1998, Anne has owned and operated both a senior-care placement service and a private geriatric care management business.  Recognizing how critical it is to respect a senior’s independence - promoting and preserving that independence to whatever extent possible - is now a keystone of her practice.  Her experience in Texas, where self-sufficiency and independence are highly valued, has confirmed this principle.

 

In 2003, Anne brought her practice to California – services are now available in Southern California and North Texas.  Combining the knowledge, insight, and skills gained through such broad professional experience, she has developed a personalized and integrated model for geriatric care management which satisfies her clients’ needs – as well as those of their families - most effectively and efficiently.

Anne is an active member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers, the National Care Planning Council, the Estate Planning & Trust Council of Long Beach, the Dementia Care Professionals of America, and the Senior Resource Alliance of Los Angeles / Orange Counties.
