Why Windward Life Care
Why Choose Windward Life Care?
The most important decisions older adults make involve how to age well. Whether you are planning your own journey, caring for an aging or disabled parent or loved one, you need someone you can trust.
Locally owned and operated, Windward Life Care has been helping older San Diegans age well since 2004 and is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating. We are licensed with the Home Care Service Bureau and a member of the California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH).
Here are six other reasons why you should consider Windward Life Care to help you on your journey to aging well:
Our expertise is first rate
Our staff is highly trained, skilled, and certified in the care of older adults and individuals with disabilities. Our clinical staff is certified by the Aging Life Care Association® (ALCA) and bound by the strict ALCA code of ethics. Home care aides undergo Windward’s rigorous 10-hour Compass Care Certification training program and follow best standards of practice. Windward’s interdisciplinary team includes registered and licensed vocational nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers, who share a deep knowledge of long-term care, healthcare systems, and elder advocacy.
Our long-term vision ensures smoother transitions
While we work with you on the current care issues, our care plans take a forward-looking approach to aging well. We help clients and families know what to expect and how to prepare for their aging journey. Our experienced Aging Life Care Managers® know how to anticipate and facilitate transitions in the aging process.
We embrace the aging process
Taking a holistic approach to care, our care managers identify each client’s strengths and nurture them to enhance quality of life. Team members not only help clients live and function comfortably while aging in place, they enable them to thrive!
Our personalized care treats everyone as an individual
Our Aging Life Care Managers assess each client’s personal circumstances to develop a customized plan of care. They take into account the client’s unique identity, including religious/spiritual beliefs, cultural background, sexual orientation, gender identity, and family structure.
Our staff is there when you need us
Windward’s team is on call 24/7, bringing peace of mind to clients and their families that they can always reach a professional should any emergencies arise. Your after-hours calls go directly to Windward employees with access to your records, not a call center. Our team’s keen understanding of the intricacies of health care systems make them highly effective elder advocates.
Our integrated model of care gives you a team of professionals
Our clients benefit from the combined experience of our team, which includes expertise in caregiving, social work, nursing, counseling, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and other related fields. Our Aging Life Care Managers provide support and backup to a team of home care aides who are agency employees. Your care manager serves as the main point of contact for clients and family.
“The clinical kinesiologist did a great job of engaging my mother as her physical abilities declined. He established a connection with her that had others in awe. I am very appreciative of the life enhancements he provided to her in her last couple of years.”
