Michelle Glodeck offers 30 years of experience and passion supporting a better quality of life for older adults in Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Building upon her training at the University of Maryland (BSW, MSW), Michelle launched her career inside the skilled nursing setting as a licensed social worker and grew professionally into a dynamic leader across the continuum of care. She has coached hundreds of staff and supported thousands of residents through their journey in senior living and healthcare. She is known for her person-centered approach to resident care, her instincts for inclusion and celebration, and her ability to build effective, cohesive teams. Michelle is most proud of her contributions to building a branded Memory Support program for a leading enterprise, helping design a graduate curriculum for Social Work interns in the organization, and her participation in the start-up of five assisted living and skilled nursing facilities in three different time zones. Today, Michelle hopes to inspire the emerging generation of caregivers and leaders through practical, online education.
