Ivonne Meader
Ivonne completed her undergraduate degree at Universidad CESA in Bogota,
Colombia and then moved to the United States to do an MBA in International
Management at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota. She worked in the
corporate world as International Marketing Manager for Mattel toys, Marketing
Director for Sony, and Brand Manager for Samsung to name a few. Then her
calling came to be part of the elder care world. Ivonne was immediately
attracted to doing something she was passionate about and started a new
chapter in her life. Now, she continues to serve the elderly by improving the
lives of her residents.
Ivonne Meader is the owner and administrator of Mom & Dad’s House with
Premier Senior Living Facilities in Lakewood and Long Beach California. Her
passion is to create senior homes that go far beyond just “room and board”.
Harnessing her corporate experience, Ivonne found that the eldercare
business lacked processes and procedures. After not finding a suitable option
to professionalize her business and services, she and her husband Matt
decided to develop Caring Data, LLC., a communication and documentation
program for the RCFE and ARF industry.
