Beth Westland, COO
-
Beth Westland is the Chief Operating Officer of Mat-Su Senior Services, where she oversees daily operations and ensures programs are developed, managed, and evaluated with care. For more than 15 years, she has been a cornerstone of the organization, beginning as Care Coordination Supervisor, then leading the Chore & Respite Department before stepping into her current role.
Her passion for senior care was shaped by owning and operating Angel’s Touch Assisted Living Home, as well as her earlier service as a Medic and Ambulance Chief for Big Lake Ambulance. These experiences deepened her dedication to making sure seniors feel valued and connected to community.
Born in North Dakota and raised in a military family, Beth has lived in Alaska since 1972. She enjoys spending time at her cabin with her husband and their five children, who keep her grounded and inspired.
