LORI NESLER, CSA

Mark Twain wrote, “The most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”  

Lori Nesler was born to make a difference in the lives of seniors. As a child, she preferred to soak up the wisdom of her elders rather than play with neighborhood kids. “That’s where the action was,” Lori recalls. 

Today, as the owner of Comfort Keepers Dallas and a Certified Senior Advisor, listening to seniors is still “where the action is” for Lori. Aside from offering clients the benefits of Interactive Caregiving, she partnered with Sharing Life Community Outreach to found the Durable Medical Equipment Exchange for Dallas County. 

Lori purchased her Comfort Keepers franchise in 2002 after working for a Fortune 100 Company for nearly two decades. Though she considered a number of franchise options before making her final decision, she was drawn to the Comfort Keepers brand because it gave her the opportunity to combine her passion for seniors, entrepreneurial spirit and degree in Business Management.

Shortly after Lori opened Comfort Keepers Dallas, her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. As she walked the same path that had led many client families to her door, Lori not only developed a deeper understanding of those she served; she gained greater appreciation for the core values that set Comfort Keepers apart from other in-home caregivers. By putting a name and a face on the Comfort Keepers’ Mission, Lori Nesler’s Dallas team is caring for clients with the same dignity and respect that Lori embraced while caring for her own dad.
