Lonette Bolden-Smith, MA, BSN, RN, CMC

I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  Following this I obtained a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University in 2006.  I found my niche in working with older adults as a Social Services Director for a local nursing home for over 10 years.  In this position, I learned of my true passion for working with older adults and their families.  Initially, my goal was to work in the nursing home setting until I completed my graduate studies however, I found it difficult to leave because of my passion for the work I was doing.  Eventually, I felt that I needed more and had the capability of doing more.  I decided to pursue a degree in Nursing and in 2018 I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Herzing University.  Following this I did bedside nursing for a local hospital on a Cardiac PCU unit and eventually transitioned to being a discharge planner.  Despite having these newfound skills, I continued to gravitate towards older adults and the need to provide guidance and help.  I am proud to say that I now have experience in professional care management and am a member of the Aging Life Care Association®.  I truly enjoy working in this capacity and feel that I am able to bring together all of my experience in working with older adults in the nursing home, hospital, and community setting.  I possess a wealth of knowledge of resources in the Central Florida area and in helping to navigate through the Aging Life Care ™ process.  I am passionate about my work, advocacy, and the quality of life of the people I serve.

Serbreane Bell, MSW

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I am passionate about this chosen career as it is my heart to empower, advocate, and educate vulnerable populations. My desire to make a difference with the aging population led me on an exploratory adventure to learn how to serve the whole person. This journey began with gaining 18 years of experience in adult mental health serving in various positions.  After working with these clients in the community, I became inspired to learn and serve in a clinical setting, which brought me to 4 years of clinical hospital experience as a Social Worker/Discharge Planner for a local hospital.  As a Social Worker/Discharge Planner, I was introduced to palliative care and hospice.  I have assisted clients with placements to various places such as specialty hospitals, nursing homes, assisting living facilities, and inpatient rehabilitation centers. I gained experience with arranging home care services and needed supplies to the home.  In addition to this, I gained experience helping individuals navigate the frustrations associated with hospitalizations and transitions.  I possess years of experience as a therapist, being supervised in helping clients with anxiety, depression, and PTSD amongst other mental health diagnosis.  I also have experience in assessing and arranging services for those that are visually impaired.  Today, my desire is to serve the aging population and disabled individuals by utilizing my education and learned skills from my career path as a professional, supportive social worker, educating and empowering families, while navigating the challenges of aging.  I am always compelled to advocate for the wishes of my clients.
