"In spite of Dad’s challenges, he is smart and still laughs and enjoys life. Care Suites offers quality moments in so many ways throughout his day. The patience and respect that he is offered in the Care Suite community is heartwarming. All who are living with any sort of impairment are treated with dignity by residents and staff. Walker Methodist Care Suites has truly become dad's home away from home."
— Marcie, Daughter of Resident
"To say that I sincerely thank everyone at Care Suites for taking such good care of my dad is just an understatement. The first time I walked in the door I knew that Walker was the absolute right place for him. My mom was concerned because of the cost. I told her that she made the absolute right decision by putting him there. After meeting you all my feelings were signed, sealed, and delivered."
— Jeff Spranger, Son of Resident

Servant leadership trait: Coming alongside others
I’ve been told I have a servant’s heart, so healthcare and senior living have always felt like the perfect fit for me. The ability to join residents, families, and team members on this journey isn’t something I learned in school. For me, it’s a hands-on labor of love.
I joined the Walker Methodist team in 2014. With a background in music therapy, I always look for creative ways to meet the needs of others and remain focused on providing individualized care. As executive director, I do my best to ensure residents at Care Suites of Edina have what they need to be happy and healthy. I serve as the main point of contact for residents, families, team members, and others in all areas of our community.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. As part of a loving church community, I’m fortunate to have friends in and around the Twin Cities. Sharing a homemade meal is one of my favorite ways to entertain. I also enjoy cooking for my church’s youth program several times each month.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in music and music therapy from the University of Dayton.
Servant leadership trait: Listening well
My path to Walker Methodist Care Suites started when I realized how much I love working with seniors and knew that was what I wanted to do every day. I've been part of the team since 2015.
With previous experience in hotel sales and corporate housing sales, I am known for building relationships. I genuinely want to get to know people, hear their stories, and serve seniors and their loved ones. Helping people make the important decision of choosing a place for themselves or their loved ones to live is an honor.
On a day-to-day basis, I meet with families looking to move their loved one into an assisted living community. I also connect with referral sources, including hospital discharge planners and social workers.
The youngest of eight kids, I grew up on a farm in Cannon Falls, MN. I have two teenage sons and enjoy watching their sporting events, going for hikes, and doing yoga.
I hold a bachelor's degree in speech communication and marketing from St. Cloud State University.

Servant leadership trait: Bringing people together
I believe meal time is the common ground that brings us together as a family at Walker Methodist. That's why I joined the Care Suites team in August 2016.
As director of culinary services, I manage the day-to-day operations of the kitchen and dining room as well as cooking, creating menus, and ordering food. I am known for preparing delicious gluten-free meals and baked goods. Cooking for residents brings me joy, and I love seeing peoples' reactions when they see and taste my food.
I was named Community Champion by Minnesota Life College, an organization supporting adults with disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. At Care Suites, I hire people from this organization and work closely with job coaches to ensure the success of these team members. In addition, I open the Care Suites kitchen and lend my time and expertise as part of Minnesota Life Colleges development plan.
Coming from a large family, I grew up in South Minneapolis. I have five sons and 13 grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy many outdoor activities, especially fishing, and volunteer with food packing programs serving children.
A former baker and executive chef at the Emily Program, I hold an associate degree in culinary arts from LeCordon Bleu.

Servant leadership trait: Caring for seniors passionately
I've been with Walker Methodist since 1997, when I started as the social worker for memory care residents at the Health Center. Before I became the director of resident services at Care Suites, I served as the resident services director. With years of experience in the senior living world, specifically in assisted living and adult day care programs, I am passionate about serving older adults.
In my free time, I enjoy going on bike rides with my family, scrapbooking, or curling up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and a mystery novel. My family is very important to me, and I am happily married and have two wonderful daughters. As a family, we enjoy going on picnics, playing with our pet rat, walking at the park, taking bike rides, and playing table games.

Servant leadership trait: Thinking creatively
I’ve been at Care Suites since 2012, serving as the director of life enrichment. Before joining the team in Edina, I worked at the Walker Methodist Health Center in Minneapolis. I bring experience working with the YMCA, Regions Hospital, assisted living and memory care communities, adult day cares, and home sharing programs.
As director of life enrichment, I help guide programming that provides life-enriching opportunities to residents. This programming includes exercise, music, intellectual and creative groups, outings, spiritual opportunities, and more. I also train and work with volunteers. I truly enjoy spending time with residents and love listening to their backgrounds, stories, and historical perspectives.
Outside of work, I enjoy church fellowship, outdoor activities, sporting events, and contemporary Christian music concerts. I also love spending time with my daughters, Hannah and Sarah, their families, and my young granddaughter. My wife, Jackie, and I also enjoy taking trips together.
I earned my degree in community services from Bemidji State University, with concentrations in recreation and psychology.
Servant leadership trait: Helping others selflessly
My journey with Walker Methodist began when I was in elementary school, growing up within walking distance from the Health Center. As a young girl, I volunteered at the Health Center’s gift shop. Then, I worked as a housekeeper and in the beauty salon during high school. In 2013, I joined the team at Care Suites as a concierge, later becoming lead concierge. I’ve served as the business office manager since 2019.
On a daily basis, I oversee billing, daily concierge duties, and more. I also assist with new team member orientation. I love helping out with Care Suite’s annual spring fundraiser and connecting with the community.
In 2018, I was awarded Care Suites Team Member of the Year as lead concierge. In my free time, I enjoy watching my two children compete in dance and karate.
