As a first-generation, minority female entrepreneur and agency director, Rampi stands as a respected and reliable pillar in the Charlotte community. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, she leads her organization with a dual focus: delivering compassionate, high-quality care and fostering strong, solution-driven relationships with families, clients, and healthcare partners alike.

Rampi brings over three decades of experience in the senior living and home care sectors, with deep expertise in Alzheimer’s and Dementia care. Her career began at the age of 18, working as a caregiver while pursuing her undergraduate studies—a journey that has given her a hands-on, empathetic understanding of the care continuum. Her early experiences shaped her belief in dignity-driven service and laid the foundation for her operational leadership.

Over the years, Rampi has built her reputation by rising through the ranks in Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care communities, eventually expanding her mission into the home care field. She oversees the strategic vision and day-to-day operations of her agency, ensuring her team is empowered, supported, and equipped to provide exceptional service.

Her educational background is just as impressive:

• B.S. in Biological Sciences – Wayne State University
• MBA – Wayne State University
• M.S. in Business Information Technology – Walsh College
• Executive Education in Senior Housing & Care – Erickson School on Aging Studies, with concentrations in Business Strategy, Sales & Marketing, Operations, and Finance
• Licensed Assisted Living Administrator – State of North Carolina

Rampi’s influence extends beyond business operations. She is deeply engaged with the community, having served with organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association (MI and NC), the Michigan and North Carolina Assisted Living Associations, and the National Private Duty Association. She has been a Certified Dementia Practitioner, a Dementia Dialogues Trainer through the University of South Carolina, and a facilitator for local Alzheimer’s support groups—roles that underscore her passion for advocacy, education, and hands-on support.

Through her work, Rampi continues to set the standard for ethical leadership and compassionate service in home care. She is a resource to families seeking guidance, a partner to professionals across the care spectrum, and an inspiring example of what it means to lead with heart, purpose, and integrity.
