Candis Willis

Candis started working with seniors in 1995 as a floor nurse and has spent her career since then working with elders in many different capacities. The best part of this work for her is connecting with residents and seeing them flourish in life when they thought life would be over because of leaving their homes. She loves having the opportunity each day to give back to them what they have given to so many others.

In addition to a career as a nurse, Candis also holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and will be launching into a master’s degree Program in Gerontology in 2019.

Candis’s career with Compass Senior Living began in 2014 as an Administrator for Sundial Assisted Living in Redding, California. In 2015 Candis was promoted to the Director of Operations for the SW Region and utilized her years of experience as an Administrator to provide support to communities in California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Now, Candis has moved out of her role as Director of Operations and will provide support to all 34 Compass Communities in her position as Quality and Wellness Leader.

Candis is a Mom of two grown children, who she is very proud of, and has four wonderful grandsons, who she adores. Candis’s hobbies include hiking, visiting the ocean, and traveling.
