Sam Nation, LPN, CDP

Samantha “Sam” Nation serves as the Client Care Coordinator here at Premier Caregiver Services. In her role, she oversees the individualized client care plans and acts as a bridge between our clients, their families, and our caregiving team. In the true spirit of Premier, she guarantees that every client receives compassionate, person-centered care that meets their unique physical, emotional, and cognitive needs. She also supports our team of caregivers with guidance, communication, and dementia care best practices. 

Along with the experience Sam has gained over the year she has been with the Premier Caregiver team, she has several years of experience as a nurse and is a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP). This background in healthcare and specialized training grant her both clinical insight and emotional support, two things that Premier is grateful for. She regularly attends ongoing training opportunities and workshops, as well as keeps up with the latest research on dementia care. However, she attributes some of her learning process to her coworkers, peers, and clients. Being in the environment Premier cultures allows her to take every day as an opportunity to grow, learn, and refine her skills. 

Her training allows her to help clients and families navigate the challenges of aging and memory loss with understanding and respect. All of her experience contributes to Premier’s ability to individualize care plans and take the personal approach that we are so well-known for so that the families and individuals in our care can feel supported, informed, and confidence in the caregivers at their service.

Sam’s passion for caregiving and development of her skills to be the kind, compassionate, and understanding person she is today began early in life. Caring for her grandparents and supporting a sibling with special needs fostered her desire to be there for others who need a helping hand. Those experiences taught her the importance and joy of being able to bring light and compassion to people every day, but especially during times of need. Her caregiving philosophy centers around empathy and humanity. Sam believes caregiving is not just about meeting needs, but about bringing comfort, trust, and light to others. She lives by the belief that everyone deserves more compassion and understanding, regardless of their situation.

Being our Client Care Coordinator, Sam has the meaningful opportunity to see the peace that comes when clients and families feel truly cared for. For her, those small, quiet moments of trust and connection are what make caregiving deeply fulfilling. Sam’s favorite part of each day is connecting with clients and caregivers to listen, come up with solutions to problems that arise, and make a significant difference in someone’s life. She values being part of a team that leads with purpose, empathy, and excellence.

Outside of work, Sam is a proud single mother of three with an additional two dogs and a bearded dragon to keep her life full of laughter and motion. She enjoys hiking, camping, and horseback riding, activities that remind her to appreciate small joys and moments of peace.
