MEET THE FOLSOM TEAM

Nick and Desiree Trunzo are proud to bring Town Square to Folsom, California—a community they know and love from growing up and living in the Greater Sacramento region. They are passionate about providing a modern, meaningful solution to the growing needs of local seniors and their families. Together, they lead with heart, integrity, and a genuine commitment to doing right by every family who walks through the door. They provide a place where seniors feel connected, families feel supported, and community truly thrives.

With more than a decade of experience managing operations and developing high-performing teams, Nick and Desiree have built their careers around caring for others. Over the past several years, they have focused on programs and services that help seniors remain independent and age safely at home. Town Square is a natural extension of that mission—offering a safe, engaging, and joyful environment where seniors can stay active, build friendships, and enjoy each day with purpose.

Drawn to Town Square by its shared commitment to innovative and compassionate care, Jillien specializes in addressing challenging dementia-related symptoms such as resistance to personal care, late-day confusion, anxiety, and wandering.

A dynamic and engaging public speaker, Jillien enjoys offering community education on topics such as safety in aging, brain health, and the complexities of dementia.

Sharon Lim is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) with six years of experience in health and wellness, following a 12-year career in the corporate world. She specializes in root-cause healing, with a focus on how nutrition, epigenetics, and ancestral health patterns impact chronic disease, including cognitive decline and brain health in aging adults.

Sharon holds her CNS credential and brings a whole-person, compassionate approach to her practice – integrating clinical nutritional science with the lived experience of her clients to support lasting, meaningful change.

She is drawn to Town Square’s commitment to dignity, joy, and meaningful connection for older adults – values she believes are at the heart of true nourishment.
