“Kindness is the most underestimated quality in a business,” says Arizette “Ari” Thompson, owner of HomeWell Care Services in Sterling, VA. “Ultimately, it’s what we want our agency to be known for.”
After double-majoring in sociology and nursing, Ari went straight to a master’s degree as a nurse midwife before joining a busy, fast-paced maternity department in New York City.
“I’m a very nurturing person,” Ari says. “I loved caring for every one of my patients. However, the hospital environment made it hard to keep that personal touch. That’s when I took a career change to do something myself, and went into the real estate business. Although I loved the business side of things, I missed the nurturing side of working with patients.”
“When I discovered home care and HomeWell Care Services, I saw a way to combine my passion for caring with my business leadership skills,” says Ari. “Today, I’m proud to own an outstanding home care agency that offers trusted care with true compassion to families in Northern Virginia. We hire kind, dedicated people, then match them carefully with clients to create an outstanding experience.”
