Meet Ajala Clark, RN, CSA
Ajala Clark is a registered nurse, Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and patient advocate with Umbra Health Advocacy. She has more than 30 years of nursing experience and focuses on supporting older adults and their caregivers.
Ajala Clark’s nursing background
Ajala’s nursing career spans acute care, emergency medicine, cardiovascular health, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and home healthcare. She has also led nursing teams and overseen daily operations at home healthcare agencies.
That wide experience matters for the families she works with. Ajala has seen how care moves from a hospital bed to a rehab center to a person’s own home, and she knows where things tend to go wrong. She uses that knowledge to catch problems early and keep care on track.
Beyond her clinical nursing work, Ajala also has deep experience with non-medical home care. She can help families choose the right in-home support, get that care set up, and manage it over time. This is the everyday help with activities of daily life (ADLs), that lets an older adult stay safely and comfortably at home.
