Ashley Zeck, MSW, CMC

Geriatric Care Manager & Care Manager Certified

Ashley Zeck, originally a native of the Chicagoland area, joined Aging Care Advocates as a Geriatric Care Manager in 2019 after moving to the Tampa area. Ashley earned her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. While in her undergrad studies, Ashley worked for the Arlington Police Department’s Victim Services Unit, where she primarily assisted victims of domestic violence. This experience helped teach her how to empathize and assist people from a variety of different backgrounds, while also challenging her to adapt to a wide array of complex situations.

Ashley returned to Illinois upon graduating and went on to earn her Master’s degree in Social Work at Aurora University in Aurora, IL.  Ashley completed dual specialization in gerontology and healthcare, while also serving as an intern with Elmhurst Hospital's case management department. This experience exposed Ashley to the process of discharging patients, setting up home care services, and working on a personal level with patients and their families.

Ashley used that experience to go on to work in-house at a skilled nursing facility as the Director of Social Work. Her primary duties included managing a team of master-level social workers and interns, who helped ensure patients were receiving specialized plans of care that were appropriate on a patient-by-patient basis. She also worked as part of the interdisciplinary team, which required her to communicate regularly with doctors, nurses, and therapists throughout the course of a patient’s care. Everything a patient needed, Ashley was there to assist with, so that patients and families could focus on their healing and rehabilitation.

Ashley is thrilled to now be advocating for the care of the geriatric population in the Tampa Bay Area.  Ashley is a Care Manager Certified (CMC).
