David Mckee
Director of Business Development
Part of my role as director of business development is a wonderful opportunity to become familiar with the many fine skilled nursing facilities, senior centers, and assisted living communities in the areas north of greater Boston. It has been my joy to create and maintain a referral provider network of relationships. That’s the good part. The great part is following up on the referrals generated! I delight in connecting with families in need of solutions to how to best care for their loved one in their home, and seeing Assisting Hands be the answer.
Several years ago, I retired from a non-profit, faith-based organization in West Africa where I and my wife, Diana worked for almost three decades. I then continued my passion of helping others by taking a certified nurse aide course, and subsequently worked for 9 years as a CNA in the context of people’s homes, helping older guys. My wife noticed that I had become an ‘older guy’ and suggested speaking with Assisting Hands Home Care, just a five-minute walk from our home here in Wilmington to see if there was a role I could fill. She was right, as she has been the 50 years of our marriage, and it has been a privilege to work with John as we share the same passion of giving families peace of mind in the complex journey of aging in place.
