About me
Marketing Bio: Preparing for Care
Caroline Scranton Bell is a leading expert in senior care, bringing a rare blend of corporate strategy and deeply personal experience to her work. After a successful 17-year career as an executive at Fortune 100 companies like American Express and Diners Club, she made the difficult decision to leave the corporate world to become the primary caregiver for her aging father.
During this challenging time, Caroline discovered a significant gap in resources and support for family caregivers. She approached this new role with the same determination and discipline that defined her corporate career, researching tirelessly and even earning her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license to provide the best possible care for her father.
Inspired by her hands-on experience and driven to help others navigate this complex journey, Caroline founded Preparing for Care, LLC. Her company serves as a vital resource, providing education, guidance, and vetted services to adult children and spouses caring for their aging loved ones.
Caroline’s mission is to create a safe haven for families facing what is often one of life’s most emotionally charged and difficult transitions. She is a recognized leader in the field, honored as Caregiver of the Year by Parentgiving.com and recently receiving the Senior Professional Award from the Upstate Senior Network. She is also a dedicated facilitator for the South Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.
