Deanne Martine-Soares, R.N.
Deanne was born and raised in Tulare. After attending a medical assistant program right out of high school, Deanne discovered her passion for healthcare. She worked initially as a caregiver in client's homes along with assisting in caring for her Granddad. Deanne became a Registered Nurse in 1988. Her nursing experience is primarily in Intensive Care, Emergency Room, Recovery Room, and Nursing Supervision. In 1993, she became involved with geriatrics as a Care Management professional, working with seniors and their families in coordinating health care and residential care. After working in Intensive Care, she felt there is a better way to end of life than a sterile hospital environment. Her love of in-home care started with this experience.
The position evolved into overseeing a large division in California of nursing aide assistance in retirement communities. At one point, she managed 22 locations from Redding to Bakersfield. In 1999, she was hired to create Amdal In Home Care. The company started with 5 employees in one location. Amdal In Home Care currently is in three communities in California with over 150 employees.
