Lois Alimonti, RN, MSN
Nurse Care Manager
Lois was born and raised in Queens, NY but spent most of her adult life in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York where her two, now adult children were born. She moved to Nantucket with her husband, 2 dogs and a cat in 2022.
​
After an initial career in computer programming, Lois pursued her long-time interest in medicine and attended nursing school once her youngest started school. She subsequently worked as a medical-surgical nurse in a local hospital in Sharon CT where she also spent some time as a nurse case manager. Her love of hospital nursing led to a desire to become a nurse practitioner, and she obtained her master’s degree and APRN in 2002.
​
A few years later Lois returned to Sharon Hospital as a Nurse Practitioner in hospital medicine and later in a cardiology office. During a period of “early retirement” she spent time with her mother in New Jersey who was recovering from hip surgery and then began to devote a significant amount of time volunteering at a therapeutic equine facility. Both working with the horses and seeing the growth in the clients was extremely rewarding. When there was little to do during the COVID period she accepted a position as a nurse practitioner at a skilled nursing facility where she enjoyed working with the elderly population until deciding to move to Nantucket.
​
She has been enjoying volunteering at the food pantry and the hospital thrift shop as well as her many activities including long walks on the beautiful Nantucket beaches and trails, bike riding, rollerblading, and learning how to snorkel for scallops. Quieter activities include reading and crocheting, especially when the yarn is from her former small alpaca farm!
Out of retirement once again, Lois is very happy to continue working with the elderly population at TUCKed In Eldercare.
