Pamela’s Path to Caregiving

From an early age, Pamela knew she possessed a love and passion for the elderly, yet it took personal and family losses for this realization to manifest. As a young adult, she experienced the loss of most of her immediate family, including both parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

When these individuals were growing up, there was little focus or knowledge about health prevention. For Pamela, healthcare education and health prevention remain top-focus areas when creating educational content.

Some view Pamela’s early life losses as a tragedy. Pamela views the events as multiple defining moments of who she is today and the foundation for her ability to serve and educate.

With these losses and a lifetime of professional work in healthcare and caregiving, she relates and empathizes with others experiencing the struggles and blessings of the role of caregiver or experiencing health challenges.

Pamela’s Life Purpose

Pamela, seeking purpose in her life after the death of both parents, accepted a volunteer position with the Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital in Marina del Rey, California.

Through the Friendly Visitor program, she spent time each week with a homebound woman named Billie. This experience reaffirmed her interest in advocating for older adults.

As a result, Pamela took advantage of her early work experience in marketing and pursued additional education in social services and aging. Her certifications include a Certified Guardian, a Certified Senior Advisor, a certificate in Dementia Care from the Alzheimer’s Association, and a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management.

She has served as a board member of various non-profit organizations and built a non-profit from the ground up in response to a need for grantees to meet the needs of older adults in Denver, Colorado.

Additionally, she served as the Colorado state policy liaison for the National Patient Advocate Foundation. She remains interested in public healthcare policy and legislation at the federal and state levels.

Pamela D Wilson Professional Life

After completing a master’s degree at Colorado State University, she focused her career on the healthcare industry. From 2000 to 2007, she was the Owner and Agency Administrator for In-Home and Family Services, a company providing caregiver support in the homes of older adults. In this role, she used her entrepreneurial and operational skills to establish company processes and build the company’s reputation as a provider of in-home senior care services.

Due to the expansion of client needs while at In Home and Family Services, she formed The Care Navigator. From 2007 to 2018, she established the company as a leading provider of care management and professional fiduciary services for aging adults and persons with disabilities in the Denver, Colorado, area.

In this role, Pamela served as a professional fiduciary in the roles of court-appointed guardian, medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney, personal representative of the estate, and trustee. She and her staff supported vulnerable aging and at-risk adults and persons with disabilities affected by cognitive, mental health, and substance use disorders in a legal capacity.

Her work at The Care Navigator opened many doors for education, advocacy, and speaking locally, nationally, and globally. Support for the role of caregivers and advocacy for patient care is a universal worldwide need.

The Caring Generation

After selling The Care Navigator in July 2018, the next stage in Pamela’s career was to further her business, The Caring Generation into a digital global professional services provider of consulting, virtual programming, and education for businesses and consumers, focusing on the challenges and opportunities of caregiving.

Through this endeavor, Pamela seized the virtual advantage of the pandemic to fast-forward digital marketing strategies to create and deliver resources to support corporations, groups, caregivers, and older adults worldwide.

The Caring Generation offers virtual consulting and educational services to corporations, groups, families, and individuals in the areas of health care, elder care, legal planning, and financial and wealth planning.

The Digital Age of Caregiving and Healthcare

Pamela’s efforts at The Caring Generation led to an opportunity to expand her experience to healthcare technology services with an early-stage SaaS startup. Pamela led the company’s marketing and communication efforts to facilitate clinical and social care referrals that address social determinants of health. Pamela established a marketing presence for the company while supporting investor, marketing, and sales enablement efforts.

She continues her work today at The Caring Generation. Caregivers seeking information can find support and resources through Pamela’s virtual programming on this website, her YouTube Channel, and social media.
