Angela Garofalo’s love for the senior population started out in an assisted living community as what was supposed to be a short term, temporary position as a concierge. That was almost eighteen years ago. Assisting families with the difficult decision of placing a loved one, along with making a difference in the life of a resident became a passion.
Angela joined Artis Senior Living of Eatontown a little over a year ago, in what was her dream position of opening a brand new community – and building a community from the first resident!
Angela has been involved in various volunteer organizations, some dealing with seniors, communities, special need groups, as well as other charitable organizations.
Proud mom of a nurse, and a future Doctor of Occupational Therapy, Angela enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Italy is Angela’s happy place, and she looks forward to her yearly summer trip.
Angela is grateful for the opportunity to be part of Caring Connections of New Jersey.
