We are a team of 5 siblings who are ex-professional athletes looking to address a major, flawed industry.
Our grandmother seemed healthy and happy before she suffered a stroke. Relieved that she survived, our urgent need required quickly finding and selecting a facility that could accommodate her recovery. Unfortunately, our grandmother would live only 10 months before passing away. Today, we all share vivid memories of the facility’s smell, the tired eyes of the staff and the distance traveled to visit
Our family experienced firsthand the heartbreak of watching a loved one suffer through health challenges in the care of a facility that lacked the proximity, compassion and quality resources to provide the best care. So, when our father similarly suffered a stroke a few years ago. Instead of risking his best interest in an offsite facility, we siblings brought him into our home to reside comfortably and with love. While he has recovered well, our father still experiences limitations with mobility, memory loss, and challenges with hydration.
Typically flu-season is especially risky for dad, but COVID-19 has been outright deadly. We have kept our father close, strategizing around a viable solution that can help maintain his independence and our peace of mind. From here is where the WellNest Company was born.
