I maintain office efficiency by assisting with onboarding staff, payroll, accounts payable, receivables, monthly billing and medical records. I started my journey here in 2010 and have worked as a CNA, CMA and Activity Director, as well as helping our community members with transportations. It has been a pleasure not only to assist the people in our community, but also to have a direct bond with our staff as they join our team.

Sarah Barnett, Director of Social Services and Activities

As a dedicated and compassionate professional in long-term care, I have always been driven by a personal understanding of the importance of dignity, comfort, and joy in the lives of our elderly community. My journey in this field began with the profound experience of caring for my own grandparents and parents during their end-of-life journeys, which ignited a deep passion within me to support and advocate for seniors.

With a steadfast commitment to resident-centered care, I strive to make every day a memorable one, filled with laughter, connection, and purpose. My creative approach to care brings excitement and enthusiasm to the halls, fostering an environment where residents feel valued, heard, and celebrated.

Through my work, I aim to honor the legacy of my loved ones and ensure that every individual under my care receives the compassion, respect, and quality of life they deserve. As a resident advocate, I remain dedicated to creating meaningful experiences, nurturing relationships, and making a lasting impact on the lives of those I serve.
