Cheryl’s Story

Hi, I’m Cheryl Rothbart. I’ve spent much of my life in healthcare and caregiving—sometimes professionally, sometimes personally, always with heart. I know firsthand that caregiving can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even a little scary—but it doesn’t have to be impossible.

Through Caregiving Partners, I help individuals and families prepare for caregiving and being cared for. Think of it like putting together a puzzle: we help you find the missing pieces so the journey feels a little smoother, a little lighter, and a lot less lonely. Whether you’re actively caring for someone, planning ahead, or haven’t even thought about it yet, I’m here to guide you with practical tools, honest insights, and just enough humor to keep your sanity intact.

I’m also working toward certification as a grief counselor, so I can support families through the hardest seasons of life. My goal is simple: to help you navigate caregiving with confidence, compassion, and a sense of calm—while reminding you that you’re not alone.

Janet’s Story

Janet Lough is a devoted caregiver, family advocate, and deeply grounded individual whose journey has been shaped by love, loss, and resilience. After a sudden illness struck her family, she became the primary caregiver for her sister, her sister’s spouse, guiding them through the complex continuum of care from hospitalization to assisted living and ultimately hospice. She is currently actively caregiving for a very dear friend.

Her commitment to family and spouse is anchored in strong spiritual values, which continue to guide her through life’s most demanding seasons. Drawing on years of experience in organizational settings, she brings exceptional communication and team-building skills to every endeavor—skills that have proven vital in navigating and why coordinating care.

Janet believes in the power of community and is passionate about helping others build the supportive "village" every caregiver needs. Her calm, compassionate presence offers strength and clarity to those walking the caregiving path.
