Alicia is "all about family!"

Alicia is a graduate of the University of Guadalajara with a degree in nursing. After receiving her degree she spent another year earning a geriatrics certification. During the next 33 years she gained valuable practical experience in hospice care and in nursing homes. After so much time in the field, Alicia felt she could offer geriatric patients two very important things: excellent care and a good listening ear. So, Alicia set off to the Ajijic-Lake Chapala area with her family in search of a home where she could tend to the elderly in a family setting. That's why Alicia is "all about family".

Alicia's family consists of her husband Pepe', and their sons Guillermo (Memo), Octavio, and Alejandro. Guillermo is married to Norma and they have a son named Christopher. Guillermo and Norma, along with Norma's sister Marlen, run the La Canacinta home, located just a few miles west of Ajijic. Often you can see Octavio and Pepe' at the La Canacinta home cooking a big meal for their clients.
Octavio and Alejandro divide their time between the other two homes that make up Alicia's convalescent complex. Besides the La Canacinta home, two additional homes are located in the Ajijic-proper area known as lower La Floresta. Both are close to Lake Chapala and their views of the mountains and lake are breathtaking.

All of the homes in Alicia's convalescent complex are near excellent medical and hospital care. Guadalajara, only 45 minutes away, has world-class hospitals and physicians. Alicia hopes that you enjoy your visit through this website and if you have any questions, please email her at:
