Lauren Miller
Owner
Lauren’s career has taken her from Account Executive at a regional lifestyle publication, to pharmaceutical sales for a specialty pharmaceutical company, to business owner. Most recently, Lauren worked as Director of Franchise Development for an Arkansas based franchise system. It wasn’t until after her aging mother needed home care that she realized the need for better options in her area. After a less than stellar experience with another local company, coupled with Lauren’s lifelong desire to care for people, it became more evident this was her true calling. It is her desire to bring a high standard of care to the Central Arkansas area, serving families and their loved ones with compassion, empathy, and respect.
Lauren is a native Arkansan, originally from Northeast Arkansas. She has made Central Arkansas home and considers Little Rock her “chosen hometown.” She has two children and is actively involved in her church, neighborhood, and community and enjoys spending time with friends, gardening and entertaining in her home. She is an active member of her neighborhood Property Owners Association Board of Directors and proudly volunteers and supports the 20th Century Club where she enjoys spending time with patients receiving cancer treatment at local facilities.
