Caregiving is personal for Tina Gillette of Senior HomeCare of Tucson.She was schooled in hospice when her mother was visited by a nurse twice weekly. Still, the caregiving largely fell on Gillette and her sister. She had two small children at the time, but with the help of her husband and his family she could care for her mom. It was challenging but rewarding at the same time because she could sit with her mother.  She parlayed her knowledge into Senior HomeCare of Tucson 10 years ago after working as a medical transcriber, an office manager for a sports medicine clinic and an admin for an orthopedic surgeon.
