Meet Our Aging and Caregiving Support Team

Dixcy joined the Aging and Caregiving Support team in 2018. She’s spent over 35 years developing wellness programs, raising a family, caring for her own aging parents, and advocating for informed end-of- life care in various community settings. After becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner in 1997, she was an adjunct professor teaching community health nursing which included field placement at Iona. Here she learned the depth and breath of aging well within a vibrant community of support. She brings an authentic respect for older adults who have stories to tell and lessons to teach.

Lisa began her social work career at Iona in 2003, after completing an internship at Iona. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from the Catholic University of America. As the Aging and Caregiving Support Manager, Lisa provides support, resources, and information that make a difference in an older adult’s quality of life, safety, and well-being. Additionally, Lisa facilitates support groups for family caregivers and older adults with memory loss. She also serves as a resource to Villages and congregations seeking to support members who are experiencing challenges with aging and caregiving, and is a member of the Aging Life Care Association.
