Kristine Ware

Founder of Uprooted Rising

My professional background and passion is working with the elderly and their loved ones. With over 15 years of professional and managerial experience in non-profit, public and private sectors, prior employment included Director of an Aging in Place non-profit program operated within a senior center, Sales and Marketing Director of a large Independent/Assisted Living/Memory Care Community and Executive Director of a non-profit Assisted Living Community. I have worked with countless families and their elderly loved ones who were needing resources, advice, guidance, assistance, a compassionate listening ear and ultimately support through life changes. Many of those loved ones were on hospice receiving comfort care at the end of their life. I have coached dozens of adult children and their parents through family dynamics, financial stress, loss of independence, declining health, refusal of help, moving and adjusting to life in senior living, elder abuse, loss of vision and hearing, memory loss diagnosis, death of a loved one, hospice, grief, etc. I am a Certified Master Grief Coach, a Neuro Wellness Practitioner, an Aging Parents Coach and hold my active CA State Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) Certification.
