Moises Paz, M.S.
Founder & CEO
Moises has a passion for bringing quality care services for those who need it and is most proud of the personal connection he maintains with clients, care partners and staff. “We want people to thrive at home and reduce their need for expensive medical services, and that’s why we created Cura for Care.”
“In 2018, we expanded and now provide Childcare & Executive Assistants to help families and individuals maintain the work/life balance critical to a healthy and active lifestyle," he said.
With five children, twelve grandchildren and having helped care for his parents living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, he knows first-hand the challenges facing families today. A trained family therapist and graduate of UCLA and SDSU, he implemented training programs for college interns & employees, and he managed community programs promoting strong families and promoting healthy and active lifestyles for seniors.
As part of Abe’s Garden, Moises facilitated memory care training programs for professional and family caregivers. For over 20 years, he managed large preschools, afterschool programs and day camps with up to 900 campers.
Anita Kincaid
Director, Care & Community Relations
Anita Kincaid is the personable director of Cura's client and community relations. With a background in business as well as several years experience as a caregiver, Anita brings professionalism and warmth to our staff. In her role as a caregiver, individuals take an instant liking to her. Resistance to necessary tasks like bathing and hygiene dissipates in the light of her good natured confidence. One client in his late 80’s put it simply by saying, “I love Anita.” His wife quickly chimed in that she felt the same way.

Erica
RN, Care Supervisor
Erica has spent her life as a caregiver, first as a mother baby nurse, and second as a full-time mother. Now she's expanding her reach to bring warm assistance to seniors and families.

May
LPN, Care Manager
May has won the hearts of our clients & staff by showing up to emergency and hospital rooms bearing balloons and get-well cards. She's part of the Moises & Mary team, making home or hospital visits on short notice. A caring professional, May has worked as part of clinical support and as an LPN caregiver with hospitals, insurance companies, residential facilities and as a home care provider.
Cathy
Nurse Assistant, "Chief Motivator"
Cathy is our go-to person when someone is down or refuses to get up and out. She'll start them with a quick trip to the store, then a full shopping trip. Soon enough, she has them excited about a dinner date or show tickets at a local dinner theatre. For seniors struggling with isolation, Cathy's focus on engaging with old friends or making new friends is entertaining and motivating.
She's also a superb cook, involving her clients in organizing shopping trips and making special meals. One day while cleaning, Cathy found $1400 forgotten by a client under his mattress. Because of experiences like this that demonstrate her trustworthy, loving character, deep friendships develop between Cathy and her clients.
Dee
Child Care and much more
A Nashville native, Dee knows many of our clients' parents, their children, and their clergy. Her caring demeanor and do-what-is-needed attitude make her a favorite with our clients. Dee provides child care during worship services for one of our clients, a local distinguished church, who describes her as a friend to all the children and a trusted assistant to all the parents. Some of the parents remember Dee caring for them during their teen years.
Cheryl
CNA
Cheryl brings professional training and experience in her role helping individuals living with memory loss. She's on staff with the prestigious Abe’s Garden Memory Care Center of Excellence, and she has a knack for motivating individuals to get out of bed and stay active. Daily life becomes an adventure with trips to the store or walks in the neighborhood.

Qetuwrah brings exceptional knowledge and warmth that diffuses difficult situations and creates a supportive, friendly and nurturing environment. She enjoys seniors and is especially interested in working with children, the focus of her studies as an MTSU nursing student.
