Free Eldercare Referral Service - Serving All of Northeast Georgia

Who We Are

JUDY WALLACE

Housing Resource Advisor

Judy began her career in healthcare in 1987 as Community Relations Representative for Charter Winds Healthcare part of Charter Behavioral Health, the largest behavioral health company in the world. At Charter Winds Healthcare, she was responsible for sales and referral communications throughout northeast Georgia.

In 1996 she was promoted to Director of Business Development at Charter Winds and continued in that position until January 2000 when the company went out of business. Shortly afterwards Judy was offered an opportunity to work internationally for a small behavioral health consulting company that formed after Charter’s demise.

Her first consulting job was with a large private behavioral health care organization in Melbourne, Australia where she developed a marketing system based on customer service and professional relations. She and her husband lived in Melbourne for four months and consider it a highlight in their long marriage.

After Melbourne, Judy consulted in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for another private behavioral health company where she developed a referral communications process that brought significant growth to both health care systems. She was fortunate to be in Malaysia when the government was re-writing mental health laws for the first time since 1954 and she saw positive changes in the treatment of those people suffering with mental illness.

Due to the changes taking place worldwide, Judy wanted to be closer to home. She and Kathleen started Home To Home as a result of her personal family experience, which has given them insight into the issues families face when considering a move into senior housing. With the aging population and the baby boomers on the verge of retirement, Judy and Kathleen realize that they are providing a valuable service for busy, working families and have been pleased with the response they have received.

KATHLEEN NIMMO

Housing Resource Advisor

AdvisorKathleen owned and operated a successful business from 1984 until 2000. Her business began as Windows by Kathleen in her home in 1984. In 1992 she relocated and incorporated as The Design Workplace. The business continued to grow and in 1998 Kathleen and Theresa developed a partnership in which they served all of northeast Georgia as a premier custom drapery workroom.

After sixteen years in the interior design industry and rearing three children to become successful adults, Kathleen sold her business. Coming from a large, loving family her desire was to make a positive contribution to her community in whatever way she could. Recognizing the needs of an aging population, she decided to focus her efforts in helping older adults and their families.

Based on Judy’s family experience, Kathleen saw a need where she could be of help. With her experience in marketing and business development, she and Judy started Home To Home in 2003. It has been a gratifying and rewarding experience helping families find the most appropriate home for that next step in their lives.
