Meet Our Founder

Marie Dominique Tervene

Hi, I’m Marie Dominique Tervene, founder of Bright Path Assisted Living & Memory Care. After 22 years in federal public service—and a lifetime of caring for my brother with autism and my father with dementia—I felt called to create something more personal. Bright Path was founded to preserve the dignity and joy of every adult entrusted to our care.

Our home reflects my family’s journey: compassionate, bilingual caregivers, warm surroundings, and a belief that every person deserves to age with grace and purpose. Thank you for considering us to be a part of your family’s journey. We are honored to care for your loved ones as if they were our own.

Frequently Asked Questions

What care types do you offer, and who's a good fit?

We offer assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care in a quiet, residential setting.

Bright Path is a great fit for individuals who need support with daily activities—such as bathing, dressing, medication, or mobility—and who benefit from a calm environment with close supervision.

Many families choose Bright Path because their loved one prefers the peacefulness and intimacy of a small home over the busy, social atmosphere of a large facility.

We may not be the right fit for individuals at high risk of elopement, who are violent or overly aggressive, or who require a two-person assist for most daily tasks. However, families are always welcome to hire a private aide for added support.

What makes Bright Path different from larger facilities?

Unlike large, institutional settings, Bright Path offers care in a peaceful, residential home where everything is intentionally simple, familiar, and easy to navigate. There are no elevators, no confusing hallways, and no long lists of new faces to learn.

For residents with memory loss, this makes a big difference. The smaller scale helps reduce confusion, ease anxiety, and lower the risk of agitation that sometimes happens during transitions in larger environments. Residents quickly get to know their caregivers and surroundings, which supports a calmer, more stable adjustment.

How much does care cost at Bright Path?

Bright Path offers all-inclusive pricing starting at $5400 per month. You won’t find the large surprise charges that are common at larger, itemized facilities. Most room features and services are included in one monthly rate, which makes budgeting simpler for families.
