Hilda Corchado

Memory Care Director

Hilda Corchado brings over 10 years of healthcare experience to The Peaks at Old Laramie Trail. I worked for a private DR office as a medical assistant before I started working here at the Peaks. I realized then that healthcare was my passion and my heart. I started working for The Peaks at Old Laramie Trail when the building first opened. I started in the memory care unit as a caregiver, then Q Map, was promoted to RCC and now I am the Memory Care Director.  Over the years I have developed good relationships with the residents and family members.  I feel privileged to be part of their lives. Dementia care is my passion. I have an incredibly supportive husband and 2 dogs that keep me busy. I have a big family and love spending time with them.  If you ever stop in my office, you will realize I love essential oils and the peace they bring me. I love the mountains and going on hikes with my husband. I like to read in my free time and walk my fur babies.
