Andrea Harmon
Area of Expertise: Social Work, Nationally Certified Care Manager

As a Social Worker of 17 years working in Skilled Long Term Care, I have seen the stress and anxiety families face trying to find care for their loved one. I truly enjoy helping families connect to services that best support their loved ones care needs.

Choice Care Navigators allows me to follow my passion, as I help families navigate the resources that are available in the Triad area. I look forward to being able to reduce the stress the families and seniors are facing by looking at each person’s specific needs and how to best support their quality of life.

Mika Bishop, RN
Area of Expertise: Registered Nurse

As a nurse for 20 years, it’s been my passion to help people, especially older adults and their families.  As my parents are also aging and need assistance, I can relate to families who are in similar situations. For these reasons, building the relationship with the clients and their families, as well as supporting and advocating for optimal care, is what makes my role fulfilling. I received my case management license to help with coordinating care along with my nursing license. I am excited to work with Choice Care Navigators to help families and their loved ones.

Matthew Johnston, MS
Care Manager & Administrative Director

Area of Expertise: Care Management

Beginning as a waiter in a retirement community dining room as a teenager, I have worked with older adults for the majority of my life. Those daily interactions led me to a decade-long career within retirement communities. More recently, I decided that I wanted to change occupations and work more closely with older adults and their families in discovering pathways for their future. This led me to complete my Masters degree in Gerontology.

Throughout my career, I have assisted hundreds of older adults and their families who needed guidance and information about what options are available to them. This experience, combined with the knowledge I have gained from my gerontology degree, gives me the expertise families are looking for. I am excited to work with Choice Care Navigators and continue supporting families in discovering avenues and choices that benefit their quality of life.

Shelby Kline
Area of Expertise: Recreation Therapy, Certified Dementia Practitioner

As a Recreation Therapist and Activities Director in senior care for 17 years, I have seen the enormous benefits of being active, engaged, and stimulated in all walks of life. I love being able to put a smile on someone’s face by engaging them in activities that they enjoy, find purposeful, and fun.

Choice Care Navigators and the Ignite! program allow me to follow my passion in recreation therapy to help increase the five domains of wellness: social, cognitive, physical, mental, and spiritual. A few examples include music, trivia, physical activities, cognitive games, and community activities. I look forward to working with you and your loved ones!

Choice Care Navigators Founder and CEO

As a teenager I watched my Mother struggle with difficult decisions as the caregiver for my Grandmother. As I watched my Mother sort through all of the information, while working a full-time job and raising two children, I thought “there has to be a better way.” Today, with Choice Care Navigators, there is. We help families navigate the complex senior care world to make well-informed decisions. Our team will help you and your family make the best choices while making the process as stress-free as possible.
