Amanda Santel

She started as a unit aide at a local skilled nursing facility. She went on to get her CNA license and worked as a CNA through high school and College.

Her first job in the assisted living industry was as an assistant manager at a newly constructed community in her hometown.

Amanda fell in love with the residents and families and knew that this was the career path for her. She has been in a leadership role in Assisted Living & Memory Care communities since 2004.

Making the move from operations to a regional marketing position was a natural one. Having operational experience in AL and MC gives Amanda an advantage in that she has empathy and an extraordinary understanding of what is going on in the communities day-to-day.
