MARY'S STORY
The Uplift Nursing story starts with Mary Salaki RN, Director of Nursing, who stands as the cornerstone of our company by embodying both compassion and thoroughness. Infused with a profound family legacy, Mary's journey in private duty nursing is rooted in her mother's distinguished four-decade career in private duty home care. Shortly after Mary became a registered nurse, she worked alongside her mother, gaining invaluable experience with clients throughout New Jersey. Mary also became a caretaker and advocate for her mother in her final years.
With an extensive career in private duty nursing and a profound personal journey caring for her mother, Mary is as an invaluable resource for both patients and their families, as well as a mentor to all nurses at Uplift Nursing. Mary’s personalized approach of patient-first care is our cultural backbone that is exemplified by all nurses at Uplift Nursing. Beyond coordinating patient care, Uplift nurses follow Mary’s lead by positioning themselves as invaluable resources to navigate medical treatments and logistics for clients and their families to provide for safe and comfortable care. Mary's wealth of experience and personal journey makes her an indispensable asset, ensuring that the culture at Uplift Nursing continues to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to those we serve.
Our team understands because we've cared for our loved ones too.
Working with Mary’s husband, John Salaki, and a fantastic team of nurses and other professionals, Mary is dedicated to offering top-notch personalized private duty nursing services and compassionate healthcare by maintaining a best-in-class standard of care for all clients of Uplift Nursing. The team is driven by a personal understanding of the mission to uplift patients and their loved ones by enhancing the quality of life for all patients who are cared for by Uplift Nursing.
