Jill & Ted Wismer

" Jill and Ted have a wealth of experience in business, nursing, and the LTC sector. "

Jill and Ted have a wealth of experience in business, nursing, and the LTC sector. They have a passion for helping and lending a hand to those in need. They have a young family that keeps them busy running from the arena to the barn, and all points in between. In the summer months, they are avid boaters and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends.

Jill brings an abundance of experience in LTC, having literally “grown up” in the industry. From her childhood memories of visiting her mother’s work and having residents read with her, to her most recent position as an Administrator of a LTC home, Jill has a passion for caring and helping the residents — this has truly been a driving force throughout her career. She began working in the industry as a teenager as a Dietary Aide, and graduated the RPN program at Durham College. She began working in children’s rehabilitation, but found she was missing her calling and needed to return to Long Term Care in the nursing department. She progressed through a variety of roles from RPN, to staff educator, and Co-Director of Care. Jill then moved on to external roles in sales and service of mobility equipment and pharmacy services in the LTC sector. She again missed the hands-on role within the homes and returned to the role of Administrator. She decided to become an owner of Plan A Brampton and Plan A Hamilton after realizing her education, experience and values aligned with the Plan A vision.

Ted began his career working in the corporate world, and worked a variety of roles from recruiting to account management and sales. In 2001 he left the corporate world and ventured on his own into the construction sector. Beginning with small projects, his business progressed into large scale commercial and residential builds throughout Ontario working in partnership with various industry leaders and pioneers. With a solid reputation of providing quality, honesty, and passion in each project, demand grew to a national level with his company having completed projects from Halifax to Edmonton, and all points between. During this time, Ted has successfully navigated through an ever-changing environment with increased emphasis on productivity and health and safety. He has learned that building relationships is sometimes more important than the actual build. Ted looks forward to continue using this notion when building relationships with LTC partners in the Brampton and Hamilton regions.

She is proudly known for her compassion, musical talents, and sense of humor while also being a certified welder and intellectual autodidact. Sarah contributes her extensive skills and knowledge in business to many new exciting projects in Plan A Kingston & Quinte.

When asked what leadership means to Sarah, here's what she had to say: "Leadership is something that looks different to everyone. It's something that truly depends on the leader, the team and the environment. As a leader, I believe that it's my duty to be aware of my team's needs, their learning or engagement styles, how they can best achieve success in their role and what our business requires. A leader who approaches their team as a coach understands that people are a reservoir of talent that can be further developed.”

Betty Lauzon has been an entrepreneur in a wide range of industries including marketing, management, finance, food, and education. She brings her wealth of knowledge and experience over the last 30 years into a partnership that has helped to create what Plan A Kingston & Quinte is today.

These experiences opened her eye's further as a call to action of what needed and could be done to support a sector where many of our community members and family members reside.

Plan A meets many of the areas Betty feels are important to herself and for the residents and health care professionals. For her, it allows an outlet to share experience, encouragement and provide support to others while working towards making a true positive impact on the long term sector. For the residents, it is working hard to ensure that shifts are filled resulting in care and attention received by those that absolutely deserve it. For the staff, the design of Plan A fits any employee’s dream of being able to choose their own work hours, with a strong focus on work life balance. As an employer she is able to empower her team to pick up shifts that fit their life for the greater health of all parties involved.

Having the opportunity to continue working with the “A Team” while also having the freedom to work around her own schedule and spend more time at home with her family than she would in any other position is truly a dream come true.

In the summer months, they are avid boaters and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends.

Jill brings an abundance of experience in LTC, having literally “grown up” in the industry. From her childhood memories of visiting her mother’s work and having residents read with her, to her most recent position as an Administrator of a LTC home, Jill has a passion for caring and helping the residents — this has truly been a driving force throughout her career. She began working in the industry as a teenager as a Dietary Aide, and graduated the RPN program at Durham College. She began working in children’s rehabilitation, but found she was missing her calling and needed to return to Long Term Care in the nursing department. She progressed through a variety of roles from RPN, to staff educator, and Co-Director of Care. Jill then moved on to external roles in sales and service of mobility equipment and pharmacy services in the LTC sector. She again missed the hands-on role within the homes and returned to the role of Administrator. She decided to become an owner of Plan A Brampton and Plan A Hamilton after realizing her education, experience and values aligned with the Plan A vision.

Ted began his career working in the corporate world, and worked a variety of roles from recruiting to account management and sales. In 2001 he left the corporate world and ventured on his own into the construction sector. Beginning with small projects, his business progressed into large scale commercial and residential builds throughout Ontario working in partnership with various industry leaders and pioneers. With a solid reputation of providing quality, honesty, and passion in each project, demand grew to a national level with his company having completed projects from Halifax to Edmonton, and all points between. During this time, Ted has successfully navigated through an ever-changing environment with increased emphasis on productivity and health and safety. He has learned that building relationships is sometimes more important than the actual build. Ted looks forward to continue using this notion when building relationships with LTC partners in the Haldimand Brant and Hamilton regions.
