Owner/Founder
Owner/President of LMR Elder Care, LLC, Lisa Bayer, is a licensed Attorney, a Board-certified Case Manager (CCM) an Advanced Professional member of the Aging Life Care Association® and a Certified Dementia Practitioner. In July 2021 Lisa began her volunteer four-year Board service as a Commissioner with the Commission for Case Management Certification (CCMC®). She is also an active member of the New Jersey chapter of AARP’s volunteer Speaker’s Bureau.
Lisa uses her legal and social services experience to advocate on behalf of her clients and their families. Attorneys and other professionals appreciate Lisa’s understanding of the legal process and find it easy to work with her, especially when a case involves complicated legal issues such as understanding how and when to use power of attorney documents, family elder care mediation, reviewing long term care facility agreements, navigating the long term care insurance process, describing Medicaid and asset protection planning rules and requirements, and guardianship matters.
Before attending law school, Lisa was a case manager with Boston Senior Home Care, a non-profit organization overseen by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. Upon earning her law degree, Lisa worked with Mobilization for Justice (formerly known as MFY Legal Services) in New York City specializing in Social Security law. At MFY, Lisa maintained a caseload of more than 75 clients, supervised outside lawyers seeking pro bono credits, and developed and provided pro se clinics to standing room only attendees on an ongoing basis.
When not working, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family, hanging out at the Jersey shore and playing (with a lot of talking in between hands/games) Bridge, Canasta and Mahjong.

Researcher
Nicole Cook, PhD, MPA, is a health equity and implementation science research investigator with a broad background in health care administration, quality improvement and curriculum development focused on meeting the specific needs of priority populations including older adults. Prior to receiving a doctoral degree in epidemiology, she served as Director, Clinical Operations at a large, national network of health centers where I led collaborative, multi-site initiatives to create efficiencies in care delivery including community health worker programs, care management, and patient centered medical home recognition.
After seven years as a health care administrator with a focus on EHR supported quality improvement, Nicole recognized the need to advance the science of effective interventions to address health inequities, and so completed the doctoral training in epidemiology needed to pursue that goal. With that training, as an education-track faculty member she successfully developed, was awarded and led numerous programs to improve care for older adults to support age-friendly health care and supportive care for patients and caregivers with dementia.
