Selam the Haven was founded by Selamawit Tedla, a dedicated nurse with over 19 years of experience in healthcare and caregiving. Before becoming a Registered nurse, Selamawit spent six years working as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Restorative Aide, building a strong foundation in hands-on, person-centered care.

For the past 13 years, she has worked as a nurse, primarily serving residents in nursing home settings as well as caring for students as a school nurse. Her years of experience have shaped her belief that quality care should support not only a person’s needs, but also their dignity, independence, and quality of life.

Selamawit founded Selam the Haven to bring her years of experience into a smaller, more personal setting where residents can receive attentive and individualized care.
