Janet Hurley Janet Hurley joined ASAP in January 2007 as a geriatric care manager. She has a master’s degree in sociology with specialization in Medical Sociology and Gerontology from Virginia Tech. Her love for geriatrics has given her the opportunity to work with seniors in a variety of health care settings which include: hospital, nursing home, acute rehabilitation, and a retirement home. Perhaps the most influential was a specially designed, dementia- specific assisted living/long-term care facility that operated in conjunction with Johns Hopkins Neuropsychiatric Department. This setting generated a true passion for those suffering from memory-impairing illnesses. These varied health care settings have provided a wealth of experience for a career in geriatric care management.
