Elaina Rials - Care Coordinator

Elaina started with Visiting Angels as a caregiver before moving into her role as Care Coordinator. Elaina excelled at providing support to caregiving staff as an After Hours Coordinator and soon after took up the role as Executive Assistant working frontline in the office. Elaina worked in the customer service industry for nearly 10 years before she was needed at home to take care of her grandfather. Although the passing of her loved one was difficult, it led Elaina to realize her true passion for elderly care. In Elaina's free time, she can most always be found enjoying family time with her husband, their daughter, and their 2 cats. When weather permits, Elaina and her family love to travel to Morro Bay. 

One of Elaina's favorite quotes is, "To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors." - Tia Walker
