“It is very rewarding to me to work with people living with disabilities, even when I am helping in small, incremental ways. I love to see the sum of these efforts when a client feels empowered to maximize their independence and live their fullest life. As a member of the “Sandwich Generation” who has utilized care management services in my own family, I know the positive impact a care manager can have on family relationships. Care management has allowed our family to spend quality time with my mother, with the care manager taking over much of the “heavy lifting” of advocating for her needs with healthcare providers. It is this type of support that Windward delivers to our clients and their family members, living near and far.”
