Meet The Team

Our facilities have a team of about 50 multitalented, specially trained individuals who cater to the needs and wishes of our residents. We pride ourselves in providing specialized training so that we can certify our employees as Dementia Care Specialists, Certified Medication Passers, etc.

Dianne is the Administrator of all three facilities. To become an Administrator, an individual must have at least one (1) year of experience actually providing hands on care to residents, and financial and administrative management to operate a facility to provide the level of care and program as approved. The Administrator must also be competent in nutrition, first aid, CPR, safety and fire prevention, resident rights, prevention and containment of communicable diseases and the needs of the population to be served. Dianne also functions as Operations Director at all three facilities overseeing the day to day operations with the help of an Operations Manager and two Assistant Operations Managers.

The Senior Management Staff is made up of the following individuals:

Kathleen Brunson is our Director of Operations and also functions as Administrator Designee. As Administrator Designee, Kathy is capable of stepping into Dianne’s position if, for any reason, she becomes unable to run the company. Kathy came to us with many years of experience in caring for seniors. She is, on a full time basis, overseeing the daily operations in all three of our facilities.

Alan Urbanyi, our Building and Security Manager, has been with us since we purchased the company in 2005 and has about 15 years experience with our buildings. We have yet to find something that Alan can’t fix; he knows every nail, screw and bolt in our facilities. As Security Manager, he also functions in the capacity of Safety Officer making him responsible for detecting and eliminating dangerous situations before they occur.

Cynthia McIlvain, our Marketing Manager, joined us a couple of years ago bringing with her many years of experience in caring for seniors. She is responsible for bringing residents to us and for our advertising efforts. Cynthia is the liaison with senior groups, veteran organizations, discharge planners, etc; she also administers our Honor and Pride program providing assistance to veterans.

Roxanne Forbes is our Operations Manager at the Terrace. Roxanne has many years of experience with our facilities and is directly responsible for the day to day operations of the facility under her management. Under Kathy Brunson’s watchful eye, Roxanne is responsible for keeping care levels above the norm and prides herself in attaining these goals.

Kathy Abunaw our Dietary Supervisor has, as her primary function, the responsibility for feeding our residents. In this capacity she must determine that daily minimum requirements are met when planning menus and purchasing food. Kathy also assists in the processing of paper work for new employees after they are hired.

Kimberly Wray is the Assistant Operations Manager at the Carriage and Garden Houses. Kim came to us recently with extensive training and experience in medical functions. Kim runs the day to day operations of the Carriage and Garden Houses and is responsible for ascertaining that the levels of care remain well above the norm.

Together, our management team has about 35 years with our company and well over 100 years of experience in the field of Assisted Living.
