Although Ms. Grover always knew she wanted to join the healthcare industry, she decided to pursue home care after moving to a hospice herself. She matriculated at Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minn., and earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree in 1998. The rigorous academic training she received from Bethel University allowed her to gain extensive knowledge that led her to pursue a career at Fairview Homecare and Hospice.

Ms. Grover ensures that her patients receive end-of-life care daily, and aims to provide a comfortable environment for her patients and their families.

She enjoys sharing her knowledge with patients and their families, and considers the joy she feels from her interactions with them to be an immense feat. She credits her prosperous career to her strong work ethic and dedication to educating her patients and their families to remove the fear from the hospice and replace it with a calm and caring experience.
To continue her success in the home care field, she is a member of several associations including the American Nurses Association and National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, a nonprofit organization that mobilizes social change to improve end-of-life care across the nation. Ms. Grover’s compassionate demeanor has led her to contribute to several charitable institutions including Operation Christmas Child — a Christian-based organization that aims to provide gifts to children in developing areas — and contributes input to her local church’s finance committee.
In her spare time, Ms. Grover enjoys swimming and country dancing. She plans to continue her booming career by bestowing her knowledge on nurses at Fairview Homecare and Hospice continue to ensure that the facility’s patients continue to receive the best care possible.
