Founder Profile
Bethany Lawrence RN, BSN CMC, founder and President of Aging Excellence is active in daily operations.  An entrepreneur at heart, Beth is a former Regional Clinical Director/Administrator for a Medicare Certified Home Health company that operated throughout the State of Maine.  Personal experience with her own family and professional assessment of many home health clients made Beth aware of the virtual lack of non-medical services and activities that would allow individuals to maintain their independence and enhance the quality of life during times of illness and throughout the aging process.
