With 16 years of clinical healthcare experience as a Registered Nurse and Licensed Vocational Nurse, I founded Keagans Residential Homes to deliver structured, compassionate residential care.
My dedication is deeply personal—inspired by my nephew, Keagan, who has autism, and refined through years of specialized psychiatric nursing to address unique behavioral and mental health needs.
"Our mission is to ensure every individual is treated with dignity, compassion, patience, and respect—fostering a safe haven where young minds feel valued and empowered."
Compassionate, dual-licensed clinicians and educators committed to nurturing, empowering, and transforming young minds.
