EPOCH Senior Living, a provider of senior living services throughout the Northeast, has appointed Stephanie Lantz Riggio as a new senior advisor.
With a diverse background in health care as a social worker, physician assistant and home care liaison, Riggio brings many years of experience to this role. Her career reflects an ongoing dedication to promoting health and wellness for people at all stages of life. In her most recent role prior to joining Bridges® by EPOCH at Norwalk, Riggio was a client relations expert and home care liaison with a company that provides home care services to clients who needed professional, caring and coordinated assistance in the home.
In her role at Bridges® by EPOCH at Norwalk, Riggio will be supporting individuals and families as they navigate the complexities of aging and memory impairment, developing and nurturing important relationships with residents and families. She also has experience in special education within the Darien Public School system where she worked as a paraprofessional while raising her two children. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in social work from Juniata College in Huntington, Pennsylvania.
“Having personally navigated the journey of caring for aging parents, I understand how overwhelming these situations can be—whether families have time to plan or are facing a crisis. My approach is rooted in compassion and I am dedicated to empowering families to make informed decisions while advocating for the best possible outcomes,” said Riggio.
“We are thrilled to welcome Stephanie to our team at Bridges® by EPOCH at Norwalk,” said Gina Cambre, executive director at the institution. “Her professional background and her consideration for those with memory loss align perfectly with our mission to provide high-quality, compassionate care to our residents and their families. I know she will be tremendously successful as a senior advisor and will provide outstanding services to our residents and families.”
