Family & Nursing Care is proud to announce that Elnaz Safavieh, Director of Caregiver Services, has been named to WTWH Healthcare’s Future Leaders Class of 2026. The recognition honors emerging leaders who are shaping the future of aging services through innovation, leadership, and meaningful impact within their organizations and the communities they serve.
Elnaz’s recognition reflects her dedication to supporting caregivers, strengthening operations, and helping ensure clients receive high-quality, personalized care. Since joining Family & Nursing Care in 2020 and later advancing to her current position, she has played a key role in enhancing caregiver engagement, training, and support across multiple states.
Under Elnaz’s leadership, Family & Nursing Care Select expanded and strengthened its caregiver training and support programs. She helped develop a comprehensive training curriculum that includes professionalism and soft-skills education, hands-on skills training led by nurses, flexible virtual learning opportunities, and recorded educational resources designed to fit caregivers’ schedules. She also introduced caregiver “Meet & Greet” events that foster communication, learning, and connection within the Family & Nursing Care caregiver community.
“Caregivers are at the heart of everything we do,” said Safavieh. “Supporting them with training, resources, and a strong sense of community ultimately helps ensure clients receive the high-quality, person-centered care they deserve.”
In addition to operational leadership, Elnaz has been instrumental in strengthening caregiver recognition and support efforts throughout the organization. She oversees Family & Nursing Care’s Goodwill Committee, which provides emotional and financial assistance to caregivers facing personal hardships such as medical emergencies, family loss, or housing crises.
Her work also includes connecting caregivers with important community and financial resources, including childcare assistance, insurance information, retirement planning resources, and utility support programs.
“Elnaz leads with both empathy and strategic focus,” said Sherry Peach-Walker, Vice President of Human Resources at Family & Nursing Care, who nominated Elnaz for the award. “She understands that supporting caregivers directly impacts the quality of care clients receive, and she consistently brings dedication, innovation, and excellence to her work.”
Beyond caregiver support, Elnaz has contributed significantly to operational growth and compliance efforts across Family & Nursing Care’s expanding markets. Her leadership has helped strengthen onboarding processes, improve documentation and training materials, and support consistency across multiple states during periods of rapid growth and regulatory change.
Her recognition as a Future Leader reflects not only her individual accomplishments, but also Family & Nursing Care’s broader commitment to excellence, innovation, and person-centered care.
At Family & Nursing Care, we are proud to celebrate employees who make a meaningful difference for caregivers, clients, and families every day. Elnaz’s recognition underscores the value of investing in leaders who help shape the future of home care.
