What does the WellAWARE Systems opportunity mean to you?
“ Since I started as an intern in 1995, being around the residents and the stories they told has drawn me to this industry. Growing up, both my grandfathers passed away before I was born, so now I’ve been fortunate to have “grandparents” at every community I have been involved with. To listen to their stories, learn about their lives, where they came from, and about their families is why I stay in this industry. I look forward to the next chapter of stories that WellAWARE can help tell for our seniors.”
