Westcare was founded in 1987 by Robert M. Decker.

He started Westcare with a small group of professionals determined to provide world class management services for the long-term care industry. Since that time the company has grown tremendously and can now offer even more experience and resources to its clients. Like a great caddy to a golfer, Westcare serves to help clients see the dangers ahead and direct their companies in a way that will help them build great leadership, manage their finances and create strength for the future.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Statement

Westcare Management, Inc. recognizes that many individuals, families, and communities have experienced historical and systemic barriers to equitable access, opportunity, and quality services. We are committed to advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) through intentional leadership, equitable policies, culturally responsive practices, and an organizational culture grounded in dignity, respect, and belonging.

As a management organization supporting a diverse network of community-based providers, Westcare partners with organizations that serve veterans, older adults, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and others who rely on high-quality, person-centered services. Our role is to strengthen these organizations through effective governance, operational excellence, financial stewardship, strategic leadership, and continuous quality improvement so they can better serve their communities.

Our commitment to DEIA is reflected in our governance, leadership, workforce development, organizational practices, strategic partnerships, communications, and the management services we provide. Through thoughtful leadership, responsible stewardship, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we help strengthen organizations, reduce barriers to equitable access and opportunity, and support positive outcomes for the individuals and communities they serve.
