Your Care Team

Julie Kollada

President & Founder

Prior to the founding of Open Arms Solutions, Julie established an impressive track record as a successful entrepreneur and respected business owner. For 18 years, she cultivated and prospered with an emphasis on quality service and building professional relationships. Ultimately, however, it was the experience with her own mother Jeanne a few years back that set her on a passionate course that led to the creation of Open Arms. Jeanne, a bright and vibrant woman, was given a diagnosis of Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease that left her completely dependent. Without warning, Julie and her family were left to figure things out – where was her mother to live? Who was to care for her? How would long-term care insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid figure into the financial picture? And who was there to help Julie untangle the vast web of questions? An intense education in and introduction to the warm and caring world of healthcare heroes followed. Home care, assisted care, skilled nursing, hospice, attorneys, physicians, nurses, and therapists – the list goes on. Julie has made the long-term commitment to giving back, guiding families through the toughest of times, and helping seniors and the infirm regain, maintain and preserve their quality of life with help from Open Arms Solutions.
