From the Olympics to Long Term Care Specialist
Wendy’s team won the only gold medal in the women’s swimming events in the 1976 Olympics. In doing so they beat the heavily favored, and many say heavily doped, East German team. Wendy’s relay race is still one of the most notable in Olympic history.

Before the Olympics, Wendy’s father had become ill. After the Olympics, Wendy’s father’s situation worsened, so Wendy began helping her family research nursing homes to prepare for her father‘s future needs. What Wendy found, among other things, was that the majority of the people in the homes were women – and that their savings had been depleted. Many had spent their lives caring for their loved ones, but now, in their time of need, there was no one available to care for them. And, for most of them the cost of in-home care was prohibitive. Wendy immediately began educating families and businesses about the importance of planning for long term care.

Wendy gives numerous lectures and workshops every year, utilizing her speaking abilities and extensive industry knowledge.
