More about our Sunshine Coast home healthcare services...
Physiotherapist Wendy Jensen started Encompass Health Services as a sole practitioner in 2015, with the desire to create her ideal workplace.
Encompass Health Services
“I love working on the Sunshine Coast. It’s great being free to work in real life situations in client’s own homes, to really understand their motivations and what resources they have so we can make a meaningful difference.”
Wendy has since gathered a team of experienced, like-minded therapists who know the value of what they do and are willing to ‘go the extra mile’ for their clients.
“We get to know the ‘real’ person we’re treating, including their supporters and complex family arrangements. Our skills and knowledge become a resource for them. We work together with our clients in the short, medium and long-term to find realistic solutions for their challenges.”
Before qualifying as a physio in 2009, Wendy had an extremely varied work background, which included cattle and sheep farming, events coordination, and work in government health departments.
This has given her a breadth of experience that enables her to relate to a wide range of people. She only employs health professionals with a mature attitude and the ability to take responsibility for their own workloads.
Wendy also loves mentoring her team members and believes work should be a nice place to go.
