I have been a part of the Summerfield Senior Living family since 2008; starting out as the Activity Director for 3 years then transitioning to the Compass Rose Memory Care Program Director. I have enjoyed all of the families and residents that I have met over the years, and it is very important to myself and my team to create and promote a home like environment for our residents and their families. I love being a part of the Summerfield family and feel lucky to call this my home.

I have been working in the Assisted Living industry for well over 10 years and have been lucky to experience many positions. I have been a Caregiver, a Receptionist, a Sales Director and a Business Office Manager twice now. I spend my free time with my husband, my 2 children and our dog Bella. It’s been wonderful working with my new Summerfield family, I enjoy the friendly faces from the residents as well as the staff.

My passion for helping others started at a young age and through the years I have pursued occupations that work directly with people. From being a certified nurse’s aide, an RDA, an Insurance Agent, and now a Sales Director for Summerfield. I love being able to find a home away from home for family’s loved ones that need assisted living.

My father’s journey with Alzheimer’s Disease brought me to the Summerfield Community in 2019. I immediately fell in love with the amazing staff and beautiful facility. Soon after, I was hired on as a bus driver and activities assistant.

I am now the Memory Care Activities Coordinator and can’t express enough how much I enjoy my position. Every day is filled with rewarding moments and I love being part of the Summerfield Family.

I have lived in the Yuba-Sutter area my entire life & have been calling Summerfield Senior Living my second home since 2011. Over the years I have worked as a caregiver, med tech and now I am the Wellness Director of Memory Care. The majority of my experience comes from working with Dementia/Alzheimer’s’ residents. I enjoy getting to know the residents and their families. I find it truly fulfilling and an honor to help the residents and families navigate through their journey in the Dementia process.

I’ve been a caregiver with Summerfield since 2016. Prior to that I was a cosmetologist for 23 years. And also worked in home care. I am looking forward to my new role as Activity Director and the many daily adventures with the residents to come.

Hi, my name is Mary. I’ve been in various positions healthcare for over 20 years, and a member of the Summerfield family since 2016.

Being retired from the U.S Navy as a Chief Culinary Specialist (Submarines) with 25 years of service, I have lived the life! I served on various nuclear submarines in the beautiful tropical island of Oahu, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Upon retiring from the Navy, I had to figure out what I wanted to be after I grew up. I am extraordinarily blessed to serve as the Culinary Director to the terrific residents, families, and phenomenal staff of Summerfield Senior Living. I am overjoyed to be part of such a caring and dedicated team that has been voted The Best of Yuba Sutter 4 years in a row!

I am a transplant Idahoan. I was born in Tennessee and raised by my single mother who was a Nuclear Consultant. We traveled the majority of my childhood until coming to Idaho when I was just starting my freshman year in high school. I had a very diverse up bringing which introduced me to many different cultures and communities. My grandparent’s home in Tennessee was one of my favorite places to visit while I was growing up. My close relationship with them is where I gained my respect and love for the geriatric community. When my grandparent’s health began to decline, I moved my family to Tennessee to care for them. This introduced me to my first personal experience with Hospice. I gained such an appreciation for the nurses and caregivers who helped my grandparents that I decided to begin my wonderful adventure in healthcare. My first experience working in a senior community opened my eyes to my purpose in life. I love to be able to make a difference in the lives of others on a daily basis. With 15 years of experience in Assisted Living and Memory Care I have gained valuable professional experience and had the pleasure of providing a loving home to over 600 residents.
