Alesia DeFrancesco, RN.
Executive Director
“It’s a true honor and privilege to be entrusted with the care of an elder.”
For Alesia, senior care is more than a profession—it is a lifelong calling shaped by personal experience and deep compassion. Growing up in a multigenerational household with her grandmother, she witnessed firsthand the profound impact that quality, respectful care can have on an elder’s well-being. That early foundation became the cornerstone of her philosophy: every individual deserves to age with dignity, surrounded by love, trust, and unwavering support.
​
As Executive Director of The Lambertville Estate, Alesia brings both clinical expertise as a registered nurse and heartfelt leadership to every aspect of resident care. Her hands-on approach ensures that care plans are personalized, staff are supported, and residents receive the highest level of attention and dignity.

Alesia leads with empathy, consistently placing the well-being of residents and their families at the heart of every decision. Her commitment to fostering a culture of trust, respect, and genuine connection has made The Lambertville Estate a place where seniors can truly thrive in safety and comfort.
