Therese is passionate about optimizing the quality of life for senior citizens, through taking an integrative medicine approach to their care, as well as engaging in social and financial advocacy on their behalf. Therese has spent the last 18 years working in acute care, long-term care, and residential care for the elderly. While serving as the president and legislative advocate of Foothill Association of Care Providers for the Elderly (FACES), Therese sponsored and successfully passed the California “Assisted Living Waiver Pilot Project”, requiring Medi-Cal to fund RCFES and Board and Care - small, home-like environments offering seniors personalized attention, private quarters, and dignified lifestyles. Prior to the passage of this bill, California Medi-Cal only funded skilled nursing facilities.
