“I have lived and worked in North Central Florida since 1978. My professional work and community service have always been focused on improving the lives of older persons living in our community.
My work experience includes case management in state and federally funded senior service programs and training of Assisted Living Facility personnel. I contributed to proposed state legislation and developed senior volunteer programs. I managed not-for-profit service and education programs, coordinated in-home health care services, and continue to facilitate care-giver support group meetings.
As my mother’s care-giver I arranged for and managed the help and support she needed, encouraging her while helping her to remember her many life accomplishments. I experienced the joy of making a difference in another person’s life.
My mother’s memory inspires my work. I am an Elder Advocate and I make a difference in my community...one person at a time.”

Lashunia Frazier
Professional Guardian
Greetings! My name is Lashunia Frazier aka Peaches. I'm a Professional Guardian serving Citrus, Lake, Marion, Orange and Sumter counties. I was born in Washington D.C. at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital. I currently reside in Marion County and have been for the last 15 years. I'm happily married with two son's and love them all dearly. Prior to becoming a guardian, I worked in the healthcare arena. For the last 6 years, I've worked as a nurse providing care to patients in their homes. Working in that capacity is how I learned about guardianship.
I've always been an advocate for individuals who are viewed as vulnerable such as children and the elderly. "Treat people like you'd want to be treated" is what I say. In doing so, I believe this world would be a better place.
In regards to my skills, I'm client focused, transparent, detail oriented, an attentive listener, a team player, knowledgeable about finances, real estate and various medical conditions. Possessing those skills and just being me, has proven to be beneficial to everyone that I work with, especially my wards. It's awesome to know that what I bring to the table has made a huge difference in their lives.
I'm accessible. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me on my cell at 352-286-1071 or via email at lashuniafrazier@gmail.com.

CareProtector delivers Guardianship services and Touching Hearts at Home provides in home, non-medical care services focused on supporting the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living.
I've lived in the Ocala, Marion County area all of my life; it is a great place to call home.I have always had the goal of returning something positive to the community that gave me so much during my formative years. To this end I became a Certified Professional Guardian in 2005, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
A successful technology career took me away from home traveling extensively. As a business development executive and consultant I had the opportunity to work with many great and accomplished business leaders. They taught me that there has to be a balance in life relating to all things business and personal.
After retirement it became my goal to fulfill a life's dream of helping people of all ages to live independent, active and fulfilling lives for as long as possible.
There are two separate and distinct areas that I and my team can offer help. The first is Guardianship services which are delivered by myself via CareProtector, Inc. and the second is in-home care services which are delivered by myTouching Hearts at Home team.
In both endeavors we are registered with the appropriate state agencies and are bonded as well as insured.
We offer a variety of personal services aimed at supporting the day-to-day activities that can be so overwhelming at times. These services are not necessarily dictated by age but more a result of life's challenges that just seem to happen.
Please call on me at any time; I can be reached at (352) 317-6588 or by email at jhaskins5@yahoo.com.
