Our Founder
Carletta Cole
In 2018, Carletta Cole embarked on a journey into the world of caregiving when her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. At that moment, as a single mother, she found herself navigating this unfamiliar terrain alone with not much support.
“A lot of people really don’t understand until they’re in that position, what caring for an aging parent, a child with disabilities, traumatic brain injury, or veteran is like,” Cole says. “It’s a hard situation to be put in.”
Caregiver Safe Place was founded in 2019 to provide caregivers with resources and to give caregivers a well-deserved break.
“I thought, ‘If I’m doing this by myself, I know other caregivers are doing it, too.’ I want to give back to them.”
