Helen Bonk, RN, BSN, has been named the administrator of Waveny Home Healthcare by Bill Piper, chief executive officer of Waveny LifeCare Network. She joins Waveny with a depth and breadth of home care expertise gained through a comprehensive nursing career.
“As Waveny’s community-based services continue to grow, we’re delighted to have Helen on board in this key leadership role,” Piper said in a statement. “Her degree of clinical expertise and direction are vital – now, more than ever – as Waveny continues to evolve from a brick and mortar destination, into a healthcare provider that can also come to you.”
Waveny Home Healthcare provides a full spectrum of licensed and professional in-home services to clients throughout Fairfield County. Professional treatments range from physical, occupational and speech-language therapies to skilled nursing care, geriatric care management, medical social services and home health aide assistance.
“Waveny has always been synonymous with quality within the healthcare world, so I am very excited to serve the organization in this role,” Bonk added in the statement. “As part of a larger healthcare organization versus being a stand-alone agency, Waveny Home Healthcare is able to strive beyond quality measures into the even higher realm of best practices. We bring the power of a full continuum into the heart of the community and right to our clients’ doors. This capacity for providing continuity in person-centered care is a huge point of difference, and honestly sets Waveny apart in the home care arena.”
Most recently, Bonk served as both Branch Director and Administrator for Gentiva Health Services of Hamden and Farmington, Conn., respectively. Her prior experience includes positions as Assistant Director of Clinical Services for Connecticut Home Healthcare of Trumbull, and Director of Care Management for the Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging (SWCAA), where she maintained an additional clinical focus on mental health. Bonk holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nursing from Fairfield University, where she graduated summa cum laude and as valedictorian of her class.
