Wendy Tong, MD MHA
CEO/Founder

Personal Statement

I have been an internal medicine physician for over ten years and saw first hand how difficult it is for families to find trusted, reliable and quality care for their elderly loved ones. I am immensely proud of our Team Members who come from diverse walks of life but are united by a shared vision of making a difference in the lives of our seniors and to do so in the most caring and compassionate way possible. I personally interview, select and train all our Team Members. I believe that getting high quality home care should be as easy as one-click shopping. Therefore we created a tech platform that enables our client families to book, manage and pay for visits as simple as hailing an Uber.

What Is The Best Part Of Wendy’s Team: The care and consideration given to the clients

Sydney lived in the mountains near Vail for 25 years, where she and her late husband owned
an art gallery and iron-working studio. She moved to Denver to get away from the snow and
the isolation in 2005. She ushers for The Newman Center and Curious Theater, is a docent
for Denver Botanic Gardens, and co-gardens with a friend.

She loves living in the city,
and she feels privileged to have spent so much time living in the high country.
She has a grown son and daughter who live in other states. She chose Wendy’s Team
because she wanted to work part time, and wanted work that would have heart and meaning.
