Maggie Ramirez Nelson
Senior Care Manager

Growing up in a small town in Mexico, Maggie and her family were the unofficial caretakers of the seniors who had been left behind by families who moved to the States. Her dad fixed up their homes, her mom (a nursing home CNA for over 20 years) helped with direct care, and Maggie spent countless afternoons delivering meals, keeping seniors company, and taking in all their wonderful stories! Loving and caring for seniors was woven into her character from an early age. Later, Maggie spent years in academia and higher education, studying, and teaching philosophy. Through the Great Books, she pursued the question of “What is a good life?” She realized that for her, the pursuit of a good life involved leaving academia for her first love—seniors. Today, she pursues the same question in a different, more meaningful way. Maggie is passionate about ensuring that seniors can still live a good life full of dignity, meaning, purpose, and joy. She has a special love for people living with dementia and for their families. Maggie has worked as an activity assistant and activity director in senior living. In addition, she has worked as the director of a memory care neighborhood.
