Liliana Solorzano’s passion for nursing began at a young age. In high school, she found herself volunteering at nursing facilities and serving as an activities assistant. It was then that her desire to care for others was ignited. With a background rich in skilled nursing that makes up more than 15 years’ cumulative experience in assisted living care, Liliana looks forward to continued service to this very important and special community.

Besides nursing, Liliana’s passions include family and spending time with her son. She’s been with Canyon Trails for the majority of her career and looks forward to many more years to come.
