Meet Our Team

Terri Smith, PT

President

Terri has 25+ years experience as a physical therapist.  She was a caregiver for her mother-in-law until her passing and continues to care for her sister-in-law who is 60 yrs old and has Down Syndrome.  This experience has been the foundation for the culture at Living With Care homes. Everyone’s experience with aging is unique and caregivers must respond to that. 

Terri has logged over 30 hours of training on fall prevention and dementia this past year. The training for dementia has opened up a whole new perspective on how the team can redirect anxiety, encourage a good diet, and relieve frustration during times of confusion.

Terri has committed her talents and her energy solely to making Living with Care, Inc. the best possible choice for seniors needing this type of care.
