Care Coordinator & Senior CareGiver for Alton & Bordon 

A little bit about Sharon:

Before joining Right at Home two years ago, Sharon was the manager of her local Co-op. Inspired by her daughter, she decided to make a career change and become a caregiver. Since then, Sharon has flourished in her role and is now a trusted Senior Caregiver. This means she supports the caregiving teams in Alton and Bordon, offering guidance and being someone they can always turn to for help and support. Recently, Sharon took the next step in her career and became the new Care Coordinator for Alton & Bordon! Who better for the role than someone with first hand experience in the field? We are super excited to see Sharon flourish in her new role.
