Amy Lou Pantages, Owner/Administrator- 22 years
Social Worker experience with geriatric patients in Nursing Home and Hospital settings. Sr's Are Us was established in 1997
to allow caregivers the option of Adult Day Care Services versus premature institutionalization.
Amy currently

Aging, Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, Florida Social Workers Association, National Activity Directors Association, Florida
Adult Day Care Association, Agency for Persons with Disabilities and Florida Police Chief's Association. Amy
provides education to various law enforcement agencies as well as Bethune Cookman University.
Amys philosphy is
simple,everyone deserves patience, kindness and understanding. Getting old or being mentally challenging is difficult for
the client as well as the care giver. Getting in the community allows individuals to maximize their current level of functioning
while maintaining their independence.
We don't wear uniforms, we don't have an institutional setting. We have
a fun environment and a good time working with your loved ones!
When you enter the facility, you can find Amy
actively involved in the facility on a daily basis!  |
