Diane Carbo, RN brings more than 54 years of hands-on experience in nursing, caregiving, care management, discharge planning, home care, hospice, rehabilitation, assisted living, and long-term care leadership. Her perspective is grounded not only in her professional career, but also in a lifetime of personal caregiving experience.

Diane has been a caregiver since her teenage years and has cared for multiple family members, including her disabled veteran son, whose years of severe chronic pain deeply shaped her understanding of the emotional, physical, and practical burdens families carry.

Professionally, Diane has served as Director of Nursing for a large assisted living community, held an assisted living administrator’s license, worked as a care manager with insurance companies, and held regional management, sales, and marketing roles with national long-term care organizations. This broad background gives her a practical understanding of resident care, family concerns, care transitions, operations, communication, and the pressures facing senior living providers.

Diane is the founder of Caregiver Relief and creator of My Vital Vault, a care coordination and emergency preparedness system designed to help families reduce preventable crises, medical errors, and unsafe care transitions.
She brings to the board a compassionate, practical, and systems-based perspective focused on dignity, safety, caregiver support, and quality of life for older adults.
