Hi! My name is Justin. I love working at Woodland Care Center because I get to interact with people of all walks of life and unique backgrounds. My approach to leadership is finding a way to connect with people where they are at and hear their needs. I enjoy connecting though music, animals, sports, and other special interests. I have a Portuguese Water Dog named Radagast that comes to work with me to visit our friends at Woodland Care Center. I value genuine human connection and emotion. My passion in life is to serve others and be of help to those who need to feel empowered and dignified. I want to climb as many mountains as I can in my free time and I thoroughly enjoy searching out the best local food in Portland! I look forward to getting to know you and building a relationship and genuine connection.

Hello, my name is Janet Martin and I am the Director of Admissions & Community Relations here at Woodland Care Center. I am the first point of contact for our facility when someone calls to inquire about an admission for themselves or a loved one. Working here has enlightened my life tremendously. I truly enjoy coming to work each day, and I go home each night feeling good knowing that I’m making a difference not only in the lives of our current residents, but in the lives of future residents and their families as well. I love this work!

I have one daughter who is the light of my life. I absolutely love spending time with her crafting, shopping, baking and most importantly, laughing.

I grew up in a small town out in the Columbia River Gorge and I’ve spent most of my career in the hospitality industry working as a Sales Manager/Event Planner. I did enjoy that work, but the work here is rewarding on a whole new level. I am so glad that I am employed here, it feels like home.

Henry Contreras has been a Social Worker for 6 years and has been in the healthcare industry for over 20 years. His career extends from being in The United States Navy and Serving as an
Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) with First Marine Division in Camp Pendleton California.
He believes that every single life matters, so he ensures that every day he handles his job with
great careful attention, especially when it comes to his residents.

He has his Bachelor’s in Psychology from Chapman University in Orange California and a Master’s of Social Work from The University of Southern California (USC). He is currently an MSW with an emphasis on geriatrics and military veterans.

When he is not taking care of residents, he likes to go hiking, swim, watch movies, and enjoy everyday life in the beautiful state of Washington. He also enjoys spending time with his three Sphynx cats that he likes to share with his residents. He also uses his spare time to volunteer with local agencies in Woodland Washington to make his community better.

I was born in Orange County, California and my family moved to Battle Ground, WA shortly after the Northridge Earthquake in 1994.  Growing up, I was a curious kid who loved spending time after school in the kitchen with my Mom. Those afternoons fueled my curiosity and passion for the culinary arts.

I attended school at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. I moved back to the Northwest and completed externship at the Nines Hotel in Portland, OR. Though I’ve worked in a variety of restaurants and hotels I’ve felt the most fulfilled in senior living. I enjoy getting to know the residents and having a personal connection to each dish being prepared. One of the things I cherish about working in a community is talking with the residents about their favorite dishes. Cooking nostalgic and nourishing meals inspires me, I enjoy being in a field with so much depth and variety.

When I’m not at work I like to be outside in nature; I enjoy camping, kayaking and playing tennis. I cook at home often and enjoy reading about food science and immersing myself in new cuisines.

Hello! My name is Kelsey March and I am the Payroll/ Human Resources/ Accounts Payable Director and Benefits Coordinator here at Woodland Care Center. I originally moved here from Huntington Beach, California in 1992. I reside in the tiny but comfortable little town of Cougar, which is a 30-minute drive up the Lewis River from work. I have had multiple jobs and experiences in the past which have all led me to my career here at WCC. I began working for the company in March of 2013 as a part-time dishwasher, the company then had the urgent need for a cook. As I had cooked in the past doing short-order work and as a substitute in the kitchens of Woodland Public Schools I saw the opening as an opportunity to advance. I took the position as the full-time morning cook in our kitchen, and from there, a Central Supply and Medical Records job opened up. In my previous career, I was the Retail Distribution Manager at Mr. Formal Tuxedos. I had to supply all of the retail items in 62 stores which spanned over 6 states. That experience led to our Administrator’s hand-picking me out of the kitchen to take over Central Supply and become the NAC Staffing Coordinator. After doing that for a few years the company needed a Human Resources Director and I was brought over to the Business Office. I have learned that the more that you know here the more jobs they give you! My favorite part about working here is how small and close-knit everyone is, I enjoy coming in with my co-workers and residents, they are my second family! I have two little boys who are my entire world. I recently have taken up coaching my little guys in baseball which gives me much joy. In my spare time (haha) I enjoy Baseball, Football, Traveling, Being Outdoors, and spending every second I can loving my boyfriend and sons.

Having spent most of my life in Washougal WA, I love the small town feel of Woodland.  I attended college at George Fox University in Newberg OR and Clark College.  My professional experience includes: running an activities program at a Behavioral Health, Assisted Living Facility in Portland OR and working for the State of Oregon as a case manager.  I was also a part of a non- profit organization in Xian, China where we provided care to HIV positive orphans.  I am the proud mom of seven children, five of whom came into my family through the blessing of adoption.  In my free time I love to be outdoors with my family and therapy dog, Hanna.  I have skills and certifications in therapeutic recreation, conflict resolution and de-escalation and other areas of behavioral health and elder care.
