CARING MIND




About
Owner
Denise Short
Working in a small retail pharmacy taught me so much- not just about medications, but the importance of handling every situation with care. I built lifelong relationships with families, learned to advocate for patients, and became a trusted resource for those needing guidance with their health.
I'm the founder of Caring Mind. With over 30 years of experience as a pharmacy technician in the Point Loma community, I have dedicated my career to helping others navigate their healthcare needs.
During the pandemic, I took on the responsibility of organizing thousands of vaccinations for the Point Loma community , ensuring that everyone had access to the care they needed to stay safe. I handled the paperwork, input of vaccine records, and helped people navigate their insurance, giving 100% of myself during that critical time.
My passion for organization and patient advocacy grew even stronger when I cared for my father during his battle with lung cancer. Managing every aspect of his medical journey showed me just how overwhelming healthcare can be. After he passed, I made a promise to help others the way I helped him.
Whether you're a senior, caregiver, or someone managing a chronic condition, I'm here to help bring clarity and organization to your healthcare journey. Let's work together and give you peace of mind.


My Inspiration
In March 2024, my Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and given a year to live. I had recently retired as a pharmacy technician, a job I loved, and decided to devote my time and energy to caring for my dad. I organized everything for him: his medications, doctor and home health care appointments, oxygen refills, and chemotherapy sessions. I created charts for medications, vital information, and blood pressure tracking. I did all I could to make this journey less overwhelming for him.
Unfortunately, my Dad's illness progressed quickly and he passed away after just 44 days.Before he died, he thanked me and said that he would have been lost without my help. This experience inspired me to start "Caring Mind" to help others in similar situations.
I believe in providing support and guidance to seniors and their families, ensuring an stress-free journey in caring for those who once cared for us. With every client I support, I honor my father's memory and bring my heart, knowledge, and experience to help others in their journeys.
