“During my time working in a skilled nursing facility, I became aware of the increasing number of seniors with fall-related injuries sustained at home. This realization sparked my interest in fall prevention, and home safety and modification. I continue to be an advocate for older adults who want to age in place in their own homes. I am excited to be part of the Windward Life Care team and the opportunity to help clients live at home safely, with dignity and happiness.”

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 contacted Windward Life Care when I needed help with my 75 year old aunt who had various health issues. Windward helped counsel us on our best care... options in San Diego. They were very professional, caring, and helpful. They went above and beyond helping us understand and navigate our way through the whole process. My aunt has improved her health and is now maintaining her independence. Windward Life Care helped us take the best route to get her there.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
