Our team

Jessica Young is the President and a Certified Care Manager at Ferretto Young Care Management Consulting, bringing over two decades of experience in medical day centers, assisted living, and care management services. She is an Advanced Level Professional within Aging Life Care Association (ALCA).

Throughout her career, Jessica has been trusted to lead initiatives that few are asked to take on. She played a key role in developing a CCRC at Home Program, a new medical model dementia care center, and successfully acquired, restructured, and rebranded Ferretto Eldercare Consulting, a very well established 15-year-old care management company, to Ferretto Young Care Management Consulting.

Her deep expertise in working with those with memory impairment has earned her repeated invitations to present at the Johns Hopkins Memory Clinic Annual Conference, one of the most respected platforms in the field.

Jessica is equally committed to her community. She currently serves on the Board of the Maryland First Disability Trust, supporting its mission to expand resources for individuals with disabilities. Her broader community involvement includes more than a decade on the Alzheimer’s Association Annual Memory Walk Planning Committee, involvement in many local  senior serving groups, and numerous speaking engagements across the region.

Mary Faith Ferretto founded Ferretto Eldercare Consulting in 2008 after more than thirty years of social work across the Baltimore area — and after seeing the same struggle play out in family after family: important decisions being made without the right information or support.

She built this practice to change that.

Mary Faith holds a BA from Towson University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work, with a certification in Advanced Case Management. Her roots in the Baltimore aging community run deep — she co-facilitates an Early Onset Support Group with the Alzheimer’s Association, serves as board president of the Senior Network of North Baltimore, and is an active member of both the Baltimore County Provider Council and the National Association of Social Workers.

Tracey Franz, LMSW brings more than thirty years of medical social work experience to the team. She’s worked across the full spectrum of care settings — facilities, hospice, and home health — which means she’s seen enough to know that no two families’ situations are ever quite the same.

A Licensed Master Social Worker, Tracey joined the Ferretto Young team in 2010 and has been a steady, trusted presence ever since. She works with clients across all aspects of care management, bringing the kind of calm and expertise that only comes with decades in the field.

Ann Marie Riehl has spent her career doing one thing well: helping families navigate the hard parts of aging. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s Erickson School of Aging and has worked across nearly every corner of the field — from the Area Agency on Aging and senior centers to a continuing care retirement community and a medical adult day center specializing in dementia care.

Now a Certified Care Manager, Ann Marie is the person families call when they don’t know where to turn. She’s known for turning overwhelm into a plan — and for being especially skilled at supporting families facing cognitive decline.

Channah Liebermann, LBSW has been a licensed social worker for over 20 years. She joined Ferretto Young Care Management Consulting in March 2020. Her experience prior to joining our team was focused on successful discharging from facilities, working with clients with cognitive issues, and assisting clients in life transitions.  Her focus is always on the best outcomes for the client.
