About Debbie

With over 23 years of nursing experience, I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in private duty nursing, complex pediatric and adult home care, rehabilitation, school nursing, and long-term care coordination. Throughout my career, I have provided high-quality one-on-one skilled nursing services for medically fragile patients requiring advanced clinical support, while advocating for families navigating the healthcare system. As an independent NYS Medicaid private duty nurse, I have extensive experience working with eMedNY, Medicaid prior authorizations, care coordination, and home-based skilled nursing services. My clinical background includes tracheostomy care, ventilator support, enteral feedings, medication administration, seizure management, diabetic care, wound care, and comprehensive patient monitoring in the home setting. I am passionate about helping families access safe, compassionate, and personalized care at home while also mentoring and guiding nurses interested in private duty nursing and Medicaid homecare services. My mission is to bridge the gap between families and skilled nurses by promoting professional, dependable, and patient-centered care throughout New York State. As a bilingual nurse fluent in English and Spanish, I take pride in building strong relationships with patients, families, healthcare professionals, and community providers. My long-standing experience, leadership, and dedication to advocacy continue to drive my vision of improving access to quality homecare services for medically complex individuals across the community.
