Rose Farber has spent her entire career in service to others. She holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling and has devoted her life to help others reach the goals they need to live a life of quality, safety, and satisfaction. Rose has worked with many different populations. Her strongest connections and greatest successes are in working with senior populations and their families. She fully supports healthy and happy aging.
Rose is a Certified Information and Resource Specialist in Aging. She is also a Certified “Options Counselor” through The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. In addition, Rose is a Certified Trainer and has developed and conducted a wide variety of training programs. These specialties have given Rose a creative edge and a “can do” attitude in assisting others to reach their hopes and dreams. She provides one on one sustenance, group support, and educational services.
Rose is imaginative and fun-loving. She seeks any opportunities to work in direct, creative positions that build the greatest successes in others. She specializes in senior services of all types and is well skilled in goal accomplishment, self-esteem building, support for those with mental health issues, and working with successful addiction recovery. She understands what it takes to build excellence in others and appreciates the value of on-going support.
On a lighter note, Rose lives in a log home in the woods outside of Charlottesville with Jon, her husband of 35 years, her Macaw Parrot, Flapper, and her West Highland Terrier, Westley. She adores any time she can spend with her two adult children and her young granddaughter, Ella. Rose is a musician and has played upright bass and guitar all of her life. She regularly performs with “The Lovell Coleman Band”, a group of Swing, Country and Old-Time Musicians. The band perform around Central Virginia and are a regular feature at many local nursing homes. The band members also provide end of life musical services whenever they can be of assistance. The youngest band member is 65, and the oldest is 96. Rose has played with this band for the past 20 years, and affectionately refers to the band as “Old Folks on Fire.” She looks forward to many more years of being a part of the connection between music and joy for those of all ages.
