I’ve been working with seniors for most of my life; helping them brings me a great deal of joy and satisfaction.
I've had the opportunity to work with some fantastic people who have helped influence and shape the future of my life. One was an internist who still made house calls. He was an amazing teacher and helped to begin filling my toolbox for future endeavors.
Later I learned to build great teams in a very competitive home care equipment market, leading our teams to victory and placing in the top 5-10% of the company for about 15 years.
Life happens to all of us and I took some time off to work through a family situation. When I went back to work, I wanted to try something new so I became a licensed insurance agent. I loved what I learned and the clients but that work did not fill my tank.
I've seen gaps in care available for our seniors for years. They often don't want to ask their family and friends for help. After the encouragement of a dear friend and blessings from my husband, I decided to take a leap of faith in 2019 and open my own business. I did this part-time around my day job until March of 2020. I then left my day job and went full time with 5 Star Concierge, LLC.
I love what I do and the people I serve.
I’m a wife, a mom and a nana. My family is the center of my universe. I’ve been a Girl Scout leader, a Boy Scout leader, helped in classrooms and was a principal player on a team that got local bond levies passed to improve our schools.

MEET OUR CONCIERGE TEAM
Caring and Compassionate
LEE ENRY ERICKSON
Lee Erickson joins our 5 Star Concierge team with an eclectic background that includes being a freelance consultant in public relations, marketing, online community management, the co-director of a vision therapy clinic, and an underwriting accounts representative for two nonprofit community radio stations until she retired. Lee has served as a volunteer with nonprofit organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association, BRING, Eugene Mission and Olycap - outreach to the underserved and homeless, and is a member of Personal Historians NW.
Before joining 5 Star Concierge, during her retirement years, Lee’s focus was on the care of her aging mother whose health was failing due to the complications of Alzheimer's, her stepfather during his illness, and her husband who was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia.
After such great losses, Lee prayed to God that she would once again find purpose, to be of service to others, all the while supplementing her income working part time. This led her to a serendipitous meeting with the owner, Lori Lock of 5 Star Concierge, who invited Lee to join our team to assist with community outreach and serve our clients as a personal assistant. “It was a direct answer to prayer!”
Lee says: "I love being with my family first and foremost, and simply being at home with my cat, Gracie, tending to my garden. My other interests are aromatherapy, nutrition, cooking healthy ethnic cuisine, walking, reading, writing poetry, photography, and traveling."

Prior to joining our 5 Star Concierge team, Melissa has worked in many fields from running the front desk at a chiropractic office to being a dental assistant.
Melissa says: “A couple of things you will notice about me when we meet is that I am a people person and a helper bee. I love people, I love talking and getting to know everyone. I love to help in any way I can.”

Phil started mowing lawns when he was eleven years old, and had an Oregonian paper route every morning at six o’clock rain or shine from the seventh grade through high school. Phil’s father passed away when he was eighteen. He tried a little college then joined the workforce at Brand S Plywood in Corvallis at age twenty, working there for thirteen and a half years until the economy stalled in 1984.

From there he moved up the McKenzie River and managed The Wayfarer Resort for eighteen months; crossed the river and became the caretaker of a beautiful home on Brown’s Hole for eighteen more months until he returned to Springfield where he would live the next five years. It was during that time Phil worked for New Horizons In-Home Care for 18 months and got his feet wet as a caregiver. In 2017, Phil and his partners started a landscaping business and moved to Woodburn (OR). After four years there, Phil returned to Eugene in 2021, alone. Having found himself
with an excess of time, empathy, and compassion he found his way to Lori Lock and Five Star Concierge.
Phil says: “The rewards I have discovered in caring and doing for our senior clients is priceless! The wisdom and grace I receive from helping them with their needs has been rewarding and fulfilling. Through the careful guidance of Lori and 5 Star Concierge,
at last I have finally found my purpose.”

TESTIMONIAL
Satisfied Client
At 5 Star Concierge it is our mission to give our clients the best care we can provide by working with them or their loved ones to access their needs and create personalized services that specifically meets their non-medical needs. Here's what one of our clients has to say about his experience using our services and working with our team. *****
Last year my wife and I decided to move closer to her family. My wife and I found a suitable home for us, which we remodeled. Unfortunately not long after we moved in, my wife passed away. I put everything I owned into storage and went to live with my brother and his wife in Colorado to receive medical treatment and to heal. In time I decided to move back to the home my wife and I had purchased in Oregon. My daughter arranged for the team of 5 Star Concierge to unload and unpack boxes, move in and arrange my furnishings and decor to stage my home for my return. 5 Star Concierge did an excellent job turning my empty house into a warm and inviting home ready for me to return with just a turn of the key. I am grateful for the care they took including setting up my kitchen and stocking my refrigerator and pantry with staples. 5 Star Concierge can be an excellent resource for seniors that need help.
