After attending Wheaton Graduate School I spent 24+ years here locally as a Marketing/Sales Executive for a specialty engineering firm. A softening economy started my search for an opportunity to run a small business. When Judy and I heard about

BrightStar, we decided it was a perfect opportunity to help families, create jobs, and establish a business in this growing industry right here in our hometown area of Dupage-Wheaton.

I joined the Dupage-Wheaton office of BrightStar to connect with clients and our people who serve them-

our great Caregiving

staff. My role is to work with our Care Managers to match the skills, personalities and availability of our field staff with the needs of each client. Job #1 is to be sure that each of our staff members knows where they need to be and when to be there. In the healthcare business, our clients’

needs change with every passing

hour and I help meet those needs by sending our field care team to them.

Over the years of my career, I have worked as a geriatric care manager, State of Illinois elder abuse investigator, and meals-on-

wheels coordinator. I am also certified by the Alzheimer’s Association as a dementia care manager. As a geriatric social worker, I feel my strengths are in a broad

knowledge of older adult life-span issues, which I apply to client focused assessment, care planning, client/family and staff education, and use of appropriate durable medical equipment.I believe in BrightStar’s mission to Make More Possible, and am an advocate for keeping older adults safe and happy in their own homes.

I have a Bachelor’s of Arts in social work from Carthage College in Kenosha, WI and a Master’s from Dominican University in River Forest, IL. Additionally, I am a Licensed Social Worker

in

the State of Illinois. My experience is in geriatric social work, specifically working with the Alzheimer’s population. I have previous experience working with Continuous Care Retirement Communities, Meals on Wheels and Aging and Disability Resource Center. Working at BrightStar allows me to do what I’m passionate about: Making More Possible for the seniors in our community.

Megan Schaaf MSW | Care Manager

My personal experience of caring for my father with Dementia and my special son with Autism inspired me to consider a transition from a successful 20+ years as a marketing executive

within the high-tech/telecommunications industry to join BrightStar. My mission to expand our impact and thought leadership on the community has resulted in a positive experience for our elderly and children with special needs. My Northwestern Kellogg MBA in marketing/International Business and management experience has also been a wonderful asset in establishing our reputation as a quality and responsive provider

of

care throughout DuPage county and nationwide.

I really appreciate the work we do to help so many and the challenge posed by our mission to “Make More Possible”. BrightStar has given me the opportunity to work in a dynamic atmosphere with some truly special caregivers. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Studies from Illinois State University and a Master’s degree in Middle East Studies from the American University of Beirut.
