Today my guest is “a real gem of a jewel”, I actually am not sure if that’s a real expression that people say, but we had a CAREGiver that worked for Home Instead years ago and her primary client she cared for would always say that about her every time she called our office. It was obvious that it was something she said simply because of the love, care and genuine concern that just seemed to exude from her. Yolanda Arrey is that kind of person too.   Yolanda is the Director of Social Services with Sierra Vista here in Santa Fe. An Assisted Living community here in Santa Fe specializing in providing stellar care for those living with dementia.   

Yolanda worked in the corporate sector for 35 years before realizing her dream of attending higher education and working with and advocating for elders. Her favorite Sierra Vista motto is “a place to call home, where elders can find the perfect balance of freedom and security through a full range of individualized services”.
