As the executive director of Sun Health’s Grandview Terrace, Bhakti Gosalia is responsible for providing leadership for the more than 430 residents, ranging in age from 58 to 104.
“It’s quite a span in ages,” she says. “Each resident has different needs and perspectives.”
With nearly three decades in health care, Bhakti has served as the executive director of Grandview Terrace since 2007. Born in India, she earned a master’s degree in social work before moving to Arizona in 1988, where she first began working for Sun Health. Over the years, she’s seen the health care industry transition, leading Bhakti to transfer to a leadership role in senior living. She also obtained a master’s degree in health administration.
“I am very grateful for my journey with Sun Health. I’ve seen health care change tremendously,” she says. “The whole health care delivery system has shifted.”
As a leader, she holds monthly meetings with the staff and residents and has been instrumental in successfully creating optimal living programs, including the memory support program to meet the transitional needs of residents as they age.
She says she loves working with the residents, and can’t imagine doing anything else.
“My passion is to be able to work with people,” she says. “When you see you can make a difference in people’s lives, the purpose of your life is fulfilled.”
