Elise Scaringello has been promoted to Senior Care Coordinator. In this role, she oversees the scheduling and performance of the FirstLight caregiver team and serves as our Scheduling Specialist. Previously, Elise held the position of Care Coordinator. Elise reports to Jenny Wu who was named to the position of Manager of Client Care Services in July 2019.
“Elise’s energy to ensure all schedules are handled with thoughtfulness and timeliness, and her ability to multitask in a fast-paced manner are a significant part of the quality care we provide,” said Executive Director, Wendy Adlerstein, LSW.
Prior to joining FirstLight, Elise attended Curry College where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Community Health and Wellness. Elise also holds a Certificate in Case Management from Boston University School of Social Work’s Center for Aging & Disability Education and Research. In her prior position as a Health and Wellness Consultant at Jenny Craig, Elise enjoyed making a positive impact on people’s lives physically, mentally and emotionally. Her job was not only to help clients lose weight, but to instill healthy lifestyle changes and behaviors to ensure clients live a long and happy life. Elise has always had a passion for the elderly as she lived with her grandparents all of her life, and they had a very large part in raising her. Whether helping with grocery shopping, providing support at doctor’s appointments, cleaning, or just running errands, Elise was always there for her family members needing care.
She knows firsthand what great care is, and the incredible benefits that come from it. Elise’s mother is CNA who often provides help with her grandfather for the more physical aspects of his needs. Elise loves being able to make a difference in someone’s life.
