Why I Started Nest Wisely LI
(Read the full story in our blog post)
I founded Nest Wisely LI to bridge the gap between safe housing and quality of life for older adults and veterans with disabilities. After seeing firsthand how small changes in a home can lead to big improvements in independence and peace of mind, I knew this work could make a lasting difference.
Founder
My name is Rosemarie Mccarthy
My journey began in 2010 when my mother, then 80, needed more care, and my sister June and I stepped in to support her. This experience opened my eyes to the aging process, the increasing need for assistance with daily activities—and the challenges it brings. I also saw firsthand how society often silences older adults and how ageism is still very real. One vivid memory is of my mother's doctors addressing me with their questions instead of her, despite her sharp mind. It made her feel invisible, which no one, regardless of age, should ever experience. I realized that older adults have so much to offer; their wisdom is invaluable, and we need to listen to their needs and wishes. Someday, we will be in their shoes
I do this work in
honor of my mother
