Meet The Team

MaryAnn Ciambriello, RN

MaryAnn is a wife, a self-proclaimed “Italian helicopter mom” of 3, a woman of faith, and a compassionate and empathetic Patient Advocate for the Elderly. She is also a successful entrepreneur, ambitious innovator, and influential change agent. MaryAnn possesses the rare skill set as an RN with a strong business background. These qualities, combined with her unique ability to make genuine connections give her a competitive edge in the field of home care. People describe MaryAnn as a giver, connector, and influencer who is fiercely passionate about giving back to others and to the community.

Having devoted a majority of her career to elder care, MaryAnn has a stellar reputation for providing 5-star quality home care. She holds a degree in nursing and has spent 33 years in practice as a registered nurse. In addition to her experience as an RN, she brings valued qualifications as a Certified Dementia Practitioner and Certified Alzheimer’s and Dementia Trainer. She is known as an accomplished businesswoman. She owns multiple companies and holds degrees in business management and finance.

MaryAnn embodies the vision and passion required to meet the growing needs of the home care profession. She has a keen sense of identifying opportunities in the home care market and develops solutions to fill those needs. Almost a decade ago, while working as Director of Nursing at a home healthcare agency, she was unable to find compassionate home care of live-in companies to care for her clients. She identified a need for top-quality home care companies in the area. She left her job and set out to launch her first home care company, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care. She started this company in honor of her late father in law who suffered from Alzheimer’s for 11 years. As this company grew, she launched another home care company called CT Help at Home. Both of these successful companies are full-time concierge non-medical home care companies. As these businesses started to grow, she saw a need in the home care industry for quality caregivers, so MaryAnn set out to do what she does best and launched the CNA Academy of Connecticut, a fully accredited school designed to train Certified Nursing Assistants. With the ever-changing landscape of health care, there is no doubt that MaryAnn will identify another void, and fill that gap.

It is clear that MaryAnn’s experience, passion, and commitment to the home care industry are the reasons why her home care companies have consistently been voted #1 in CT and NY. Clearly, these are the reasons why so many families choose MaryAnn for their loved ones.
