Her work supports the industry workforce, seniors, and the medically fragile, ensuring their needs are met with dignity and expertise. Lia’s deep knowledge has led her to author four books on aging-related and business management topics, establishing her as a thought leader in the home care business franchise space.
As a SCORE mentor, Lia has guided dozens of aspiring entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams of owning an in-home care franchise. Her hands-on approach and real-world experience set her apart, making her a trusted partner for those entering the ABS home care franchise. Lia’s commitment to mentoring and her leadership in San Diego’s senior care community highlight her unique value proposition: combining purpose-driven care with practical business strategies to create thriving franchises.
Lia’s journey from caregiver to industry leader gives her unparalleled insight into the senior care business franchise landscape. In San Diego, she has built A Better Solution In Home Care (ABS) into a model of excellence, blending national strength with local flexibility. Unlike larger systems like Home Instead or Right At Home, ABS offers franchisees the chance to tailor their home care business franchise to local market needs while benefiting from proven systems, branding, and training. Lia’s hands-on approach ensures franchisees are true partners, not just cogs in a corporate machine.
Her expertise informs every aspect of ABS, from caregiver recruitment to compliance and modern marketing strategies tailored for today’s care landscape. Lia’s focus on payer diversification—leveraging VA, Medicaid, and PACE—sets ABS apart in the in-home care franchise industry. Her mission, “Better Service, Better Care, Better Life,” is a promise that guides how ABS treats clients, caregivers, and franchisees, ensuring both purpose and profitability.
