Meet the team
Stacy Gunnerson, Owner
Stacy has been working with seniors for more than 20 years. She first became interested in working with seniors through the experiences she had with her own grandparents while growing up. Her great-grandfather had Alzheimer's and passed away the summer she graduated from high school. That summer she left home to attend college and started working as a CNA in the local nursing home alzheimer's unit. This is where she learned she LOVED working with this population.
Stacy later obtained her administrator's license to run a facility. Throughout her professional career in senior living she has worked every job from caregiver to Vice President of Operations.
In 2019 Stacy started Grannie on the Move because she knew seniors needed one resource they could call that could help them through the entire process of finding the care they deserve.
Stacy is a Certified Senior Advisor, a licensed Administrator, and a Real Estate Agent. She has acquired many certifications and licenses in her 20+ years of experience.
