Among Ann’s earliest memories include times playing board games on the floor with her grandmother. After-school care was provided by her other grandmother. As years went on, her relationships with them changed and focused more on helping her parents to care for them.
During college, a summer internship as an aide at a nursing home cultivated Ann’s interest in gerontology. She loved working with the residents and was fascinated by their stories. Over time, she became passionate about advocating for her own grandparents. This led Ann to pursue a Master’s in Gerontology and work with seniors in various capacities.
After raising her own family, Ann knew that she wanted to help seniors preserve their independence; to help individuals struggling with aging or end of life issues navigate the challenges and achieve the best quality of life possible while staying safe. Her work as an Aging Life Care Manager has enabled her to fulfill that desire.
Having worked with Rosemary Allender, owner of Family Eldercare Management until she retired, Ann wanted to continue the personal care management style that they had developed. Ann Craynon ElderCare Solutions was born out of that desire. As a certified Aging Life Care™ Manager, Ann continues to enjoy serving clients and building friendships along the way.
As a volunteer, Ann facilitates Caregiver Support groups for the Alzheimer’s Society, and serves on the board of the Prince George’s Senior Provider’s Network. Ann has been active in her church for over thirty years. She considers herself especially blessed to be mom to four amazing children and enjoys being grandma to an increasing number of grandchildren.
