A Vision, a Desire, a Labor of Love.

Labor of Love Adult Care (LOLAC) became a vision when Karen Romaine Thomas and her sister realized the need for comfortable environments providing full-life care when their aging mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The desire to provide families with assistance and options for high quality care when faced with similar challenges inspired Labor of Love Adult Care.
