Ashley began her nursing career in Arizona before moving to San Diego and joining Windward as an Aging Life Care Manager and Windward Home Health RN Case Manager. In Arizona, she worked simultaneously at a skilled nursing facility for older adults and at a hospital unit specializing in patients with comorbidities of mental and medical disorders. Ashley received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University. Ashley is licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) in both Arizona and California and is fluent in Spanish. Ashley specializes in working with Windward clients who have complex medical needs and can benefit from her medically informed expertise and oversight.

“At a young age I learned the importance of advocating for vulnerable populations. My brother had cerebral palsy and required total assistance. Caring for my brother led me to pursue a career in nursing. Early on in my nursing career, I quickly found myself drawn to another vulnerable population: older adults. I am passionate about empowering older people to maintain their independence and to advocate for themselves. I can also be the voice for people who are no longer able to be their own advocate. I am excited to be part of a team that recognizes the importance of maintaining our clients’ dignity and independence.”

Janai was available l, attentive,... informative, and patient, She was the support we needed to navigate through so many areas regarding health care we were not knowledgeable about. I recommend Windward Lifecare and use them again if needed.read more

It absolutely IS possible and DOES exist to have a company that supports and navigates the care with excellence for our family members choosing home... healthcare. I have always strived to follow the motto that if I put the extra time and effort in the beginning, the process will have a great chance to gather momentum and succeed. Businesses often allow for lengthy intakes and all that shared information and confidence that finally a life raft has been tossed and the rescue ship is in sight with cheering crew ready for all one’s necessary needs! Alas, the unraveling of the system fails with poor communication, a myriad of system issues and all the time- investment in the beginning gets lost; once feet are standing on the rescue ship, finding appropriate help becomes an ongoing circle of frustrations as various crew or information is as cyclical as the deck. Windward Life Care and Home Health understand that from the very first step that QUALITY isn’t an impossibility, but it requires a team that listen and are empowered to effectively and expertly sail the unchartered waters of each families health journeys. I am writing this all in current time, with the necessity to adapt to a new day’s possibilities and challenges. What I have learned is that the confidence of having an exceptional and compassionate team Is such a gift and families need to know it does exist, it is available and although it feels like a bit of a miracle, it indeed is a very reliable, affordable and trustworthy organization to place our treasured family member’s care in their hands.read more

I have worked with, and benefitted from, Windward Care and their excellent team for eight years: first through my father's Alzheimer's journey, and... now as my mother goes through her dementia journey. Janai and the Windward Care team are phenomenal resources, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I have been uniformly impressed with my interactions with Windward Care and have used many of their services. Janai, in particular, is invaluable and has become a trusted advisor and friend.A final observation: I have experience with just two people (my parents) on the range of issues that come with Alzheimer's. Janai (and the team) have assisted many people. So, while I might have an idea about how to deal with a particular issue, Janai gives me (and her other clients) counsel that comes from her much broader range of experiences (while always respecting client confidentiality).read more
