Nina Herndon (MA, CMC, CLPF) founded Sage Eldercare Solutions in 2001 as a solo practitioner dedicated to improving the quality of care of older adults. This came on the heels of her own caregiving experiences; first in her 20s while caring for her mom, who had cancer, and then again later in life when her dad developed dementia.
She realized the importance of combining gerontology, social work, nursing, and counseling psychology into the care plan.
In 2012, she launched The Hummingbird Project, dedicated to improving quality of life and combating the plagues of loneliness and boredom that too often come with aging.
She is the 2026 President of the Board of Directors for Aging Life Care Association. This national organization provides support through consultation, assessment, care coordination, and advocacy to address the challenges of aging and disabilities.
