⭐️ Andrea Woolard - CNA ⭐️

I have been with Advanced Healthcare since May 2007. I was hired as the first certified nursing assistant, my role at Advanced Healthcare is to not only help patient with their bathing and personal needs, but also to teach safety in the bathroom, which is a vital part of being able to stay in their home independently.

Before I joined Advanced Healthcare, I worked in nursing homes, and Springfield clinic, but home healthcare is what I was meant to do. I found my niche with Advanced Healthcare . They have become a huge part of my heart.

What has kept me with home health for so long is the up close and personable relationships that I have created through the years with my clients . It’s nice to be able to meet the families. I feel like they get genuine one-on-one care in their home.

What I enjoy the most about working with Advanced Healthcare is the staff and all of my wonderful coworkers. The management is very supportive and family oriented. The communication is outstanding!

What I find the most meaningful and fulfilling about my role is helping our patients build confidence again, watching them grow stronger and more independent. My care makes our clients feel so much better and that is rewarding to me that I have made someone’s day better.

I am known for my compassion, my patience, and my empathy towards our patients and their needs. I feel like my work has the greatest impact when I arrive at a patient’s home and they haven’t been in their own home for months, and to be able to help them get into the shower and feel human again is a wonderful feeling. I believe that if you feel better, you will do better.

I am a mother of four children, two boys and two girls. I also have two stepchildren . I have been married for 28 years, and my husband is a retired military vet. Advanced Healthcare has been through two deployments and two pregnancies, with me and they were wonderful and supportive during those trying times. When you love what you do for a living, you don’t feel like you work a day in your life!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy watching my kids at sports activities, vacationing, and playing volleyball. Ialso enjoy landscaping and gardening. It’s been my pleasure serving all these years with Advanced. They are truly a company that has great compassion and care for all of their clients . I'm looking forward to many more years!

I have been with Advanced for over three years, and what has kept me here is the support and compassion that are shown not only to our patients but also to every member of the staff. It is a company where people genuinely care about one another, and that makes it a rewarding place to work.

One of the things I enjoy most about my role is having the opportunity to work with patients in the most natural setting, their homes. Being in their home environment allows me to focus on what is most important to each individual while ensuring their family is an active part of the care team.

I find the greatest fulfillment in helping patients with dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. We often don't realize how much of our lives revolve around food until that ability is affected. It is incredibly rewarding to help patients safely regain the ability to enjoy the foods and drinks they love.

One professional milestone I am especially proud of is having the opportunity to mentor aspiring speech-language pathologists. I enjoy helping others grow, build confidence, and learn about the many facets of our profession. I feel my work has the greatest impact when I am collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to help patients achieve their goals and make meaningful progress together.

Outside of work, I enjoy singing and almost pursued vocal performance in college before deciding to become a speech-language pathologist!
