Nancy Hensley
Physician Assistant, Owner
Nancy Hensley has worked as a physician assistant with geriatrics during her 20 years in primary care. She always wanted to be more than their “medical provider”.

She feels they deserve to be treated with love and respect not just with clinical skills. Nancy enjoys knowing the history and individual stories of her patients. She and husband, Grant, have two children Gavin and Mya. When not visiting patients, Nancy enjoys flying, exercising, reading and hiking

The owners are frequently on-site, the nursing director is very hands-on, and the nurses and care givers are excellent. I can’t say enough good things about Freedom. I would highly recommend this community to anyone who has a friend or loved one who may need an assisted living or memory care environment.”
