Our Mission

At Advanced Nursing Strategies, we believe that exceptional care begins with meaningful connection. Too often, families navigating health challenges—whether aging, chronic illness, recovery, or caregiving—find themselves overwhelmed by fragmented systems, unclear options, and emotional strain. That’s why we exist: to be a trusted partner during some of life’s most complex transitions.

Founded by Debi Windle, RN, MSN, CNS (Gerontology), Advanced Nursing Strategies offers compassionate, clinically-informed care consulting that bridges the gap between medical systems and real-life needs. With over 35 years of nursing and teaching experience, Debi brings deep expertise and a heart-centered approach to every client and family she serves.

Our vision is to reimagine what personalized nursing support can look like. Whether you're caring for an aging parent, planning post-surgical recovery, managing disability, or simply looking ahead to age safely and independently—we’re here to help you feel seen, supported, and confident in your next steps.

We don’t just offer services—we offer strategy, grounded in knowledge, advocacy, and empathy. We collaborate with healthcare teams, empower families with clear guidance, and craft care plans that honor the unique needs, goals, and values of each individual.
