Nadina Hadzi-Wiens 
Owner

Born in Eastern Europe, Nadina immigrated during the civil war as a refugee to Canada. Shortly after arrival to Canada Nadina challenged nursing state exams and spend over 20 years working in top critical care units of California and Vancouver, BC. She lived and worked in several locations in both the US and Canada, before eventually settling in B.C.. Nadina explains that Comfort Keepers is the perfect opportunity for her to show off now almost forgotten art of being with one patient at the time and focusing on bringing them joy, not just going thru motions of performing tasks.

She selected Comfort Keepers for her new venture because she found the Comfort Keepers mission statement “inspiring”. Nadina is a firm believer in quality of life, not just quantity. As an experienced RN, with more than 20 years in the public health care sector, Nadina brings her skills and knowledge to Comfort Keepers of Kelowna. Her motto is “Do for others as you would do for yourself and your own family”.
