Our Caregivers
Meet the Rosette Team
At Rosette, everything begins with the caregivers who are present in the home each day.
Our philosophy, training, and resources are deliberately concentrated on the people providing direct, hands-on care—not on layers of administration or institutional infrastructure.
This intentional investment allows caregivers to be fully present, deeply attentive, and consistent, creating an environment of calm, dignity, and trust. For residents, it means life unfolds naturally in a familiar household. For families, it means confidence that care is delivered with precision, discretion, and genuine human connection.
Our Leadership Team

Thérèse Southwell, PCHA
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
“I believe care should feel personal, familiar, and deeply human—because the people we love deserve to be known, not managed.”
Senior care has long been personal to Thérèse. After COVID-19, she set out to create a different model—one rooted in the feeling of home. She earned her Personal Care Home Administrator license and founded Rosette, opening its first home in Gladwyne in 2022 and a second in Villanova in 2025.
Though most of her professional career has been in real estate finance, Therese is also a licensed PCHA, CMT, Trainer, Dementia Practitioner, and Diabetes Insulin Administrator.
