Laura Jones, RN, BSN – Regional Director of Skilled Services
Laura Jones moved to Talbot County from Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1988.
She became interested in-home care after having the opportunity to care for a
family member suffering from a terminal illness. In 2002, Laura found her
calling and embarked on a career of providing care to individuals in her
community.
To further enhance her skills, Laura attended the McQueen Gibbs School of
Nursing, where she graduated in 2009 with an Associate’s Degree in Nursing,
and shortly thereafter became a licensed registered nurse. She has experience
in skilled nursing and rehabilitation, long term care, assisted living, case
management and community hospice nursing. While working full time and
raising a family, Laura worked towards earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing
from Stevenson University, which she completed in 2013.
She joined BrightStar of Easton in December, 2013, a position that enabled her to return to her true
calling – to provide members of her local community with highly skilled and compassionate home care.
