The first time you meet Gina you will notice her contagious laugh and love for her community. Gina had frustrations when finding care for her mother. After many different caregivers with "In-home care companies" and moving her mother to several different care homes that never fit her needs or Gina's standards. Gina decided to do something about it and …Voila'! Welcome to Caring Homes of Bend! Gina is passionate to make sure seniors in our community can get the best care, in the prettiest setting. People always tell Gina " Your care homes are like a Bed & Breakfast". Gina knows a pretty atmosphere and fantastic caregivers are only half of what is needed to make a healthy environment. Communication with our care team of doctors, specialist, therapist and family is vital. Working together as a team for the resident's physical and mental health is what upholds Gina's reputation as a leading senior care specialist here in Bend.
Lauren Dovolis
Lauren Dovolis has been caregiving since she was 18 years old for her grandmother who was a stroke victim. While taking care of her grandmother, she was in the Navy. During that time she had to rely on caregivers for her grandmother and really got to understand how hard it can be to find that perfect caregiver. While going to school for acupuncture, Lauren learned about treating people as whole in the medical field and how seniors so often get a handful of pills and hope for the best. After her military career, she decided to move back home to Bend. Once back home, she followed her mother Gina into the care home business and has loved every minute of it.
