Lizzy Care was named after renowned practitioner Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. Blackwell is said to have begun practicing medicine in 1849 because she saw a need for compassionate care. She was the first woman to earn an M.D. from an American medical school and went on to co-found the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.
With Lizzy Care, we make sure that every family receives a personalized care plan and coordination of the many specialized services that are needed to provide remarkable care: from home health aides to hairdressers.
If any of these sound familiar, please take the first step of reaching out so we can help.
Lizzy Care was founded by a team who had firsthand experience caring for patients diagnosed with dementia. Sarah Gorenstein, a professional Geriatric Care Manager, and Ollie Fielding, who helped to care for his grandmother, could both see a clear need to make dementia care more simple.
They have teamed up with CEO Dr. Marc Rothman, a physician executive with deep experience in home- and community-based services for older adults, and world-leading scientific advisors, Dr. Russell Swerdlow and Dr. Richard Isaacson, to ensure Lizzy Care is up-to-date on the latest in dementia and Alzheimer’s research.
Sarah co-founded Lizzy Care after a career spent providing geriatric care to aging adults. She saw so many incredible families face the same struggle: they were giving every bit of their hearts to care for moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, but they simply didn’t have the experience to manage it all.
Ollie stands at the forefront of healthcare innovation, blending over 15 years of expertise in technology leadership with a deep passion for transforming healthcare. His true passion for Lizzy Care, however, comes from his own experience caring for a family member with dementia.
