Dov Brafman, NREMT
CEO
I started Life Ride in 2018 in order for seniors and individuals with special needs to get to medical and social appointments in the community. Our vision at life is to offer all of the services that would allow our clients to age in place in the comfort of their own homes. I enjoy spending time with my family- especially outdoors- and volunteering as an EMT.
Michelle Werner, MSW, LSW, CDP
Vice President and Co-founder, Home Care
I have worked as a Licensed Social Worker for over 20 years, primarily working in the field of home care. I am passionate about advocating for clients to age safely in their own homes. I love spending time with my husband, Rob, and children, Danny and Renata. My dog, Junior, comes to Life Home Care with me and takes his position as Head of Security very seriously!
María Andrew, CDP
Director of Community Relations
As Director of Community Relations, I bring over 19 years of home care experience to my role at Life Homecare. My passion started in 2004 as a staffing manager. My experience has allowed me to understand the emotional distress families go through, and I am here to help. In my free time, I love roller skating, paddle boarding, and walking my Havanese, Siggy.
Jackie Erickson, RN, BSN

My nursing career started in 1994 after earning my BSN at Rutgers University. I’ve worked in multiple settings but I found my true passion working in home care!

I have been working in the home care field for 5 years and I work hard to coordinate the best match between our caregivers and clients.
