ABOUT:
Elosie Tweeten
Tweeten Elder Care Advisors

Eloise Tweeten, founder, was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin.  She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin in psychology/human development and a master’s degree in business with an emphasis in human resource management.  She began her human resources career in California’s Silicon Valley before moving to the North Bay in 1992.  Eloise has always been drawn to finding win-win solutions to challenging life situations, and became a community mediator and founding board member of Redwood Empire Conflict Resolution Services shortly after moving to Santa Rosa. 

Ms. Tweeten offers over 25 years of administrative, management and consulting experience in human service professions, including human resources, community health education, international leadership program management, mediation/conflict resolution, nonprofit management, and business consulting/coaching.  The common denominator has been to help people navigate difficult transitions.

The personal challenges and successes Ms. Tweeten encountered while trying to navigate assisted living decisions with loved ones inspired her to provide this needed service to other elders and their families.  Eloise’s family first encountered difficult care decisions after her father was hospitalized and they considered various options ranging from home modification and support services to assisted living.

Eloise then became the primary care coordinator for her aunt Ruth in Tucson, Arizona after Ruth fractured her pelvis and shoulder while living independently.  Faced with the challenges of physical distance, a relatively short decision making period, and no one to guide her, Eloise felt an initial sense of overwhelm and frustration.   Fortunately, she eventually found a placement specialist who led her through the process and served as a role model for the level of service now provided by Tweeten Eldercare Advisors.
