Home / About Us
Silver Lantern Homecare was founded by Doctors of Physical Therapy, Joel and Lezanne Pugh. They are both experienced healthcare professionals as well as family caregivers. When Lezanne’s father was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago, they became family caregivers themselves. Joel and Lezanne truly understand what it is to walk in the shoes of a caregiver. They aim to better serve our senior community and support other family members who need compassionate care for their loved ones.
With their 34 years of combined healthcare experience, firsthand experience as family caregivers and compassionate hearts, Joel and Lezanne created Silver Lantern Homecare.
“Founded on the principles of safety, integrity, and empathy, we aspire to empower seniors to live independently at home, and give family caregivers peace of mind.”
Silver Lantern Homecare provides premier caregiving services that focus on safe, compassionate and personalized care allowing our loved ones to live independently in the comfort of their own homes.
Dr. Joel Pugh and Dr. Lezanne Pugh bring over three decades of professional healthcare expertise and personal caregiving experience to every family they serve. Their journey is one of dedication, empathy, and a deep understanding of what it truly means to care.
