We serve aging adults and persons with disabilities of all ages throughout the state of North Carolina. My professional background was in healthcare (physical therapy) for over 20+ years. During that time, I would serve clients who needed these changes made to their home to improve their safety, but they didn't have family or someone they felt they could trust to perform the work. When the pandemic arrived, I knew it was time for me to make this care…

My name is Lynne Cannon and my husband and I own a GRN franchise. He has always been involved in the construction and fire protection industry so that is our focus. I have worked in HR at a large Methodist church for ten years and decided I needed to help with the admin side of our business because that is not his specialty. I have slowly gotten more involved with research and having conversations with people. My personality is on the quieter side if I am unsure of all the lingo but once I feel comfortable with the information, I love talking to people and helping them change their lives. We started in mainly fire protection with sprinkler designers, engineers, marke…
