Sarnia and Chatham, Ontario

Simone began her career with Plan A working for our corporate office in Windsor; as an entrepreneur she was quickly attracted to Plan A’s strong business plan and became the proud owner of Plan A Sarnia Chatham in May 2019 and Plan A Windsor in January 2020. Her leadership, problem-solving skills, and forward-thinking mentality have consistently earned her the top position on the leaderboard. She is a trailblazer working closely with her partner homes and empowering her team to flourish during these challenging times in health care. Simone has also become the owner of Plan A Elgin and Plan A Renfrew Lanark in March 2023.

Simone’s great passion has always been to make a difference in the lives of others. Plan A has provided her with the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of seniors and to lead a team of professionals that care for our most vulnerable sector in her local community. “We often hear from our field staff that they feel heard, valued, and supported by myself and my team. This resonates with our core values and inspires and motivates us to continually improve ourselves and our processes to better support them and our partners in the sector. As a result, we see our values, dedication, and vision within our team of healthcare professionals resonating in their care.”

Simone brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. She obtained a business degree from Athabasca University and continues to pursue knowledge in the long-term care sector. Before devoting herself to Plan A, she owned several small businesses and has served as a director across numerous sectors with over 30 years of experience. As a business owner, she understands that customer service is the foundation of success and the experience that she gained while operating her multiple service-based businesses, taught her how crucial staffing is to any operation.

Simone is a strategic and compassionate leader who is strongly committed to supporting her staff and her sector partnerships. Her success stems from her ability to understand and foster meaningful and mutualistic relationships. Her drive for collaboration never ceases and she is always happy to share her time and her knowledge.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending her time in the garden, kayaking, working on interior design and refurbishment projects, and spending time with her husband, two children, grandchild, and her beautiful Persian and Maine Coon cats.

Simone is a perfect match for Plan A’s vision and mission; creating strong partnerships and connect caring people through a culture of quality care to keep our seniors safe.
