During my time at Life’s Journey, I left from July-November and went to work for Holly Brook of Meridian in Newton, IL. When I started, they had 4 empty rooms and even with 4 moveouts 2 due to deaths, and 2 due to health issues I only had one empty room when I left. I moved 7 people during my short stay. I did all my own marketing, making Holly Brook engaged in the Newton and surrounding communities. I made myself and our home known to all. I increased our Facebook following, tripling the number of followers. We became a big part of the events in the community. Parades, festivals, Veterans Functions, and anything we could for the Chamber of Commerce in Newton from bagging treats to manning the coloring station for Scare on the Square. I did the financials, hiring, and the overseeing of each department. I worked with vendors, and home care and hospice from different companies. I left because my home did not sell, and winter was coming. Also, memory care I feel is my forte.
In March of 2020 I returned to the job of Executive Director of Life’s Journey Senior Living in Mattoon. I created and managed all the Covid 19 policy for our home. No residents had Covid 19 during this time. Our facility was kept Covid free. I oversaw the financials for my building as well as marketing, managing staff, and daily operations.
