About Us

As a Colorado Native having spent nearly 20 years caring for her local community, Shaundra Holmes joined the team in February 2024 as the new Rhythms Home Care Director of Nursing.

Shaundra’s nursing career began in a local Denver nursing home where her love for the senior community was found. She then transitioned to the neurology unit at Swedish Medical Center where she immersed herself in the world of hospital nursing.

Life soon took a significant turn for Shaundra that required her to shift her caretaking responsibilities from her patients to her family. Caring for her ailing father battling cancer, attending to her mother’s needs post-surgery, alongside embracing the joys of motherhood after her fourth child, prompted a prolonged leave from work. Despite the career break, the time away from the field granted her invaluable time with her loved ones as well as the perspective of what it takes to care for aging adults.

Shaundra jumped back into nursing right where she left off – in the neurology unit – later transitioning to the role of Employee Health RN at Swedish in 2013. From engaging new hires and coordinating employee flu vaccine clinics, to imparting essential education on hygiene and injury/infection prevention, Shaundra tackled each responsibility with compassion and empathy.

Shaundra’s experience and expertise led her to a new role of Health Services Coordinator at Colorado Christian University in December 2021.Though department downsizing eliminated Shaundra’s role at CCU, she firmly stands by the belief that, “when God closes one door, He opens another.” This open door led to the opportunity to serve the community of Rhythms Home Care.

In her role as Director of Nursing at Rhythms Home Care, Shaundra handles weekly medication management, a task she approaches with meticulous care. Through conducting thorough assessments, obtaining and managing medication orders, and organizing pill boxes and schedules, Shaundra is dedicated to the personalized, most optimal care for each client. Additionally, Shaundra gets to know each client on a deeper level by conducting regular assessments, coordinating medication refills, and providing essential medical services under doctor’s orders such as administering enemas, urinary catheter care, and management of stage 1 to stage 2 pressure wounds.

Beyond her clinical duties as the Rhythms Home Care Director of Nursing, Shaundra finds joy in educating care partners on a variety of topics such as infection prevention, dementia care, and customer service excellence. As a lifelong Colorado resident with a love for gardening, audiobooks, baking and family time with her children and grandchildren, Shaundra brings extensive professional expertise and a nurturing personal touch to her role as Rhythms Home Care Director of Nursing.
