Meet Keisha Terry, a Technology Analyst at Westchester Family Care Inc.  At WFC, Keisha’s responsibilities include evaluating WFC’s technology platforms in terms of their utility for recruitment and hiring platforms. She is helping to optimize WFC tech systems to increase applicant volume, make the application user-friendly, and to filter applicants who make the best fit with WFC’s needs and culture.

Keisha has been involved with healthcare and home care for as long as she can remember. Professionally, she spent the last 10 years in healthcare: 

  • Data analyst at Saint Barnabas,
  • Endocrinology patient and record management for 2 years at North Shore / LIJ,
  • Geriatric Career Development program for 4 years at the New Jewish Home.

Growing up, Keisha’s grandmother had a loving Home Health Aide who was like a member of the family.  She joined them for milestone events and, importantly, left a strong impression on how in-home care gives the whole family more control of how loved ones age in place.

Keisha has enjoyed her hands-on experience of caring for seniors. She especially likes event planning for them – the activities would get them out of their rooms and connecting, as a community.

“At the New Jewish Home, I had interactions with seniors there that I’ll remember for a lifetime: they’d give me dating advice and shared personal values they learned as Holocaust survivors.”
