Our Team Testimonials

I have chosen to give to the Foundation because Goodwin Living is a family. I specifically give to the Staff Funds because I believe in the employees. They are incredible people from all over the world who have overcome so many difficulties. I have seen the Foundation help provide education to many who report to me who are single mothers, first-generation college students and individuals trying to better their family situation. I am grateful the Foundation empowers Goodwin Living employees to follow the principle: Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.

The View Alexandria

I joined Goodwin Living on June 10, 2020 during the middle of the COVID-19 epidemic. My introduction to the organization was not routine, but I still feel welcome and appreciative of the willingness of my fellow co-workers to reach out and offer help. My boss has been very helpful in acclimating me into the position, and I felt like a family member from the moment I started.

The culture at Goodwin Living is very real, friendly and helpful. Most importantly, like a family, the staff really shows care and thoughtful consideration to the well-being and life quality of the residents. I see co-workers going out of their way to bring family members together with their loved ones, even coming in on Saturdays to supervise family visits. Joining the Goodwin Living organization has been a great new chapter in my life, and I welcome anyone to come see this great place that preserves, protects and prolongs the quality of life of older adults.

As a physician, I support, honor and uplift residents and families by providing medical care that involves them in shared medical decision-making with the goal of keeping the resident as comfortable and independent at home as possible.

Goodwin Living is special, most notably because of its mission: "Support, honor and uplift the lives of older adults and the people who care for them." I love my job because Goodwin Living cares about me and my professional growth. The tuition assistance benefit allows me to continue my education. I'm using it to obtain a degree in nursing.

I put our mission and values into action every day during interactions with residents and staff. Focusing on how I can raise them up and create a culture of mutual respect has a positive impact on all of us.
