  • Jeet Shangari

    Owner and Head of Operations

    Drawing on over 20 years as a senior executive in the IT industry, I've successfully navigated leadership roles in consumer-facing businesses and B2B SaaS. My experience includes leading machine learning and AI-powered product initiatives and managing global teams of 60+ engineers at industry giants like Amazon, Dell, and IBM. This extensive background has equipped me with a robust foundation in strategic planning, business development, team building, marketing, and finance.

    My transition into healthcare leadership is fueled by a deep-seated passion for improving lives, particularly within the elderly community. I am immensely excited to collaborate with our exceptional team of RNs, CNAs, LPNs, PTs, caregivers, and business leaders. We are united in our commitment to delivering compassionate, high-quality care that genuinely enhances the health and well-being of your loved ones. Our ambition is to grow our presence and extend our vital services to more families throughout the Lowell, Andover, and Acton regions.

    Academically, I hold a Master's degree from Boston University. Personally, I enjoy performing comedy on stage, playing tennis, and exploring new cultures through travel.

Together with her husband, she is actively involved in local nonprofit organizations, further strengthening their connection to the community.
  • Lisa Socorelis, RN 

    Nurse Manager, Clinical Supervisor
    I became a nurse because I wanted to help people; I’m becoming a Director of Nursing because I wanted to help nurses. Currently, I lead the clinical team at Brightstar Care Home Health Agency. My role is a balancing act between rigorous clinical oversight and compassionate team building. I don't just sit in an office reviewing charts; I am passionate about being visible out in the field teaching "in the moment," and solving the logistical puzzles that keep in running a home care business. 

    My specialties include geriatrics, wound care, infusions, long-term care, hospice care, and regulatory compliance. If you are looking to network regarding nursing leadership or geriatric care, feel free to contact us. 

    On a personal level: I am a mother of 4 children, two girls, two boys and Nana of 4 granddaughters and one grandson. I've been a nurse for 39 years now and have loved serving and giving 100 % great patient care.  I love dancing and singing karaoke, spending time with my family.
