Leadership
Sheila McMackin, MSW, LCSW
Founder
Sheila McMackin founded Wellspring Personal Care in 1993. As an experienced Geriatric Care Manager and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she recognized that when individuals choose to be cared for at home, they should be assured that the quality of their lives will be maintained or improved.
Sheila was the founder and first board president of the Home Care Association of America, formerly the National Private Duty Association (NPDA). She served on the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Home Health, Home Services and Home Nursing Advisory Board, and on the board of directors of Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, Chicago Chapter.

As Medical Director for Wellspring Personal Care, he provides hands-on consultation and oversight for all Wellspring clients requiring skilled nursing services. He created Home Care MetricsSM, a cutting-edge health care data tracking and sharing system designed to prevent hospitalizations and increase overall wellness of patients in need of continuing care.
Edwin Nunez, RN, CLNC
Director of Clinical Services
Edwin is a Registered Nurse and a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. With over 25 years of nursing and health care experience, Edwin has served in direct care and/or management in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living residences and home health care settings. He has also owned and operated two dialysis centers.
Edwin’s experience in a range of nursing environments provides invaluable insights when making clinical decisions about Wellspring’s home-based clients. He believes that with the direction of health care trending toward in-home care rather than at care facilities, it is imperative to have well-trained staff who are knowledgeable about each client’s unique circumstances. His goal is to be a strong leader as well as a clinical resource for staff, clients and clients’ families.
