 Laura M. Lokken, R.N., Owner and Director of Nursing.
With over 14 years in the health care field, Laura has trained in critical care nursing, geriatric care and skin disorders, to name only a few. While taking care of her quadriplegic mother for 10 years, Laura realized that attentive, loving care made a positive difference in her mother's life. So Laura decided to extend that form of care to other elderly people, whose only other choice would be to enter a nursing home. Thus, Golden Oaks is more than an assisted living facility to Laura; it's a venture of her heart where she cares for all residents as they were her mother. |
 Theresa DiMarco,
Office Manager
Theresa's experience begins over 15 years ago when her grandmother came home from the hospital after having a procedure to remove a tumor from of her brain that left her with only her high spirit, loving memories and laughter. The story then went on with family taking care of family for the next 10 plus years. This family then took care of their quadriplegic grandmother/mother assisting with 100% of her activities of daily living. This story may sound familiar to you as it is the same one Laura Lokken, Owner and Director of Nursing has told.
Theresa is a 1999 graduate from Minneapolis Business College in Roseville, MN. She has several years in Customer Service and Specialized Care.
We welcome Theresa to our Administrative Staff and encourage you to call or stop by to meet her.
