During the pandemic, Ann and Craig Lennon found themselves at a crossroads.
With over 25 years in the medical field, Ann had spent the last 15 years managing group homes for people with intellectual disabilities. Craig had built a successful career in marketing for the same duration. While they were grateful to have led successful careers, they both longed to do something more meaningful.
Their journey took a poignant turn when the duo visited Craig's mom in Florida. She had recently faced a serious health scare with blocked arteries, so they brought her back to Maine for treatment and recovery. They also welcomed Craig's father into their home so he wouldn’t be isolated during the pandemic.
These experiences highlighted the gaps in senior care, especially during those difficult times. They realized the urgent need for support, not just for their family but for others in similar situations. This realization led them to join CarePatrol, a senior care advisory service that offers personalized, local support.
Unlike online services, CarePatrol provides in-person tours and acts as advocates throughout the process. With over 200 franchise owners across the United States, CarePatrol's training covers everything from senior living options to family dynamics and abuse issues.
As the first franchise owners in Maine, Ann and Craig focus on Cumberland and York counties. They guide families through the maze of senior living options, providing tours and acting as advocates. Their comprehensive training ensures they understand the unique challenges seniors face.
Beyond business, Ann and Craig are deeply committed to their community. They engage with local networking groups and serve on boards like the Southern Maine Agency on Aging. The relationships they've built are cherished, and the gratitude they receive fuels their passion.
Each day, they find satisfaction in knowing they are making a difference in the lives of seniors and their families, all while creating bonds that will last a lifetime.
