EP35 - From Caregiver to COO: Vanessa Valerio on Leadership, Dementia, and Person-Centered Home Care
Welcome to another episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast—the show that helps adult children, seniors, and senior living professionals navigate the emotional, financial, and practical sides of senior care.
I’m Dale Corpus, a Senior Transition Specialist and real estate expert based in the San Francisco Bay Area—and I created this podcast to make senior living information more accessible, human, and hopeful.
Today’s guest is Vanessa Valerio, RN, CMC, CHCA, and the COO and Vice President of Patient Care at Care Indeed. Vanessa brings over a decade of healthcare and elder care experience, blending clinical expertise with compassionate leadership. She’s also a Certified Case Manager, Certified Home Care Administrator, and a Certified Dementia Coach through Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®.
Vanessa shares her inspiring journey from front-line caregiver to executive leadership, while never losing sight of what truly matters: dignity, empathy, and person-centered care for older adults.
In this episode, we explore:
- The reality of leadership in home care (beyond the highlight reel)
- How Care Indeed stands out in the senior care industry
- The importance of transparent conversations with families
- How her passion for dementia care and elder abuse prevention shapes her leadership
- Tips for caregivers, adult children, and healthcare professionals alike
Vanessa’s authenticity, clinical knowledge, and heart-driven leadership make this a must-listen for anyone touched by caregiving.
