Executive Director 3-2006
I started out in the company site unseen as a marketing rep. I performed
this job for appox 6 mo when I was asked to step up the Executive Directors
position in Jan 2006 As well as the Sales Rep. I agreed to manage all
aspects of running this 140-apartment facility.
This building is a little different then most as it has no age limitations
and I have learned to manage care for those with special needs and
considerations. Such as, drug dependencies, alcohol abuse etc. also those
with MS, and Paraplegics.
My job duties were to manage all aspects of this building with the aid of
the 5 department heads and approx. 45 staff all-together including
caregivers, medication staffs, dietary, housekeeping as well as
maintenance.
I was responsible to maintain expected census growth by marketing the
field 3 days a week.
To ensure all budgets are monitored closely and followed by department
heads. This position includes but is not limited to monitoring expenses in
the building in maintenance as well as dietary, office management, nursing
and all other departments. Manage all issues with resident's complaints and
concerns as well as assisting with any staffing issues that may come up.
I managed all sales and closings, which include assisting with all move-in
paperwork, assist in the collection of funds and follow up after move in to
ensure everything is satisfactory. I perform outside marketing and assist
with all activities within the residence as well as outside. I was also
helping out with in-services to staff once a month on all aspects of
resident care and common sense practices of senior care.
6/00 - 3/01 The Goodman Group
West Hills Village Residential Care
Portland, OR
Manager
As Manager of this 188-apartment residential care center we had 2
department heads and myself. I helped the administrator run the facility.
My responsibilities were such as giving tours, moving in residents, dealing
with all rental concerns and issues that may come up. This building was 82%
full when I started and ended at 98% full. This setting met all required
budgets in both staffing hours as well as census and financial. I assisted
with staffing as needed in this building however the Nursing department
managed most of this. I took over as temp Administrator while company was
training new replacement to manage both critical care units as well as
residential combined. I did not have a license for skilled care and since
this was going to become a continued care setting it was a requirement. I
was let go after I turned down a position that did not interest me at the
time and there was nothing else avail.

CCL/ Huffman House Concepts in Community Living
Newberg, OR
Administrator/
I started out at this facility as Lead Caregiver and soon became Lead
Medication Aide. After 3 years I was promoted to the position of
Administrator. I was responsible for keeping this facility fully rented and
in good order. This building was completely private pay and always full
with a waiting list. It was small but very beautiful with well-trained
quality staffing.
Here I managed all work and files for maintenance, payroll, resident files,
staff files, budgets, all medical files, and several state files and
records. I was in charge of checking all staff documentation and making
sure all regulations were being met. This job required me to have adequate
skills in MS Word, Excel, & Quick Books. I managed all aspects of marketing
and public relations, including active membership with the Newberg Chamber
of Commerce.
I have worked for this company throughout the change over in owners and
have grown along with it in the senior care field. I have managed many of
their facilities and traveled a great deal in Oregon as well as Arizona
