“I find working with the team at Windward Life Care inspirational, because we have a dedicated group of professionals from a range of different backgrounds working together to improve our clients’ lives and provide good employment for our Home Care Aides. The difficult situations we face are made manageable when we collaborate and problem-solve together, and through our shared sense of trust in one another. I strive to keep our team working with a clear focus and a common commitment to the purpose-driven care of our clients.”
