Liz Rundle

Executive Director

Liz serves as the Executive Director of the Gables of Germantown, bringing over a decade of experience in healthcare administration. She earned her bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration in 2009 and began her career managing small, 8-bed CBRF-licensed communities. After ten years, Liz joined Capri Communities in 2016 as the Assistant Director of Harbor Campus in Port Washington. Her exceptional leadership skills led to her swift promotion to Executive Director of Ruby Commons in Brookfield, where she successfully operated the community and secured its Assisted Living licensure.

After a year and a half at Ruby Commons, Liz transitioned to her current role at the Gables of Germantown. Under her leadership, the community has thrived, providing exceptional care and services to its residents.

Liz enjoys life by spending time with her husband and two daughters. Their extracurricular activities keep the family busy during the school year, while summer weekends are dedicated to outdoor adventures and quality time with family and friends.

Jamie Hickman

Campus Community Relations Manager

Jamie Hickmann brings over a decade of experience and a deep passion for senior living to her role as Campus Community Relations Manager at The Gables of Germantown. She earned her associate degree in medical assistance in 2008, a bachelor’s degree in health services administration in 2014, and joined Capri Communities in 2019.  Jamie finds joy in building relationships with residents, learning their stories, and becoming a part of their extended family.

A proud survivor of metastatic breast cancer, Jamie’s journey has shaped her philosophy to “live life to the fullest.” Diagnosed at 30 with a 3-month-old baby, she now shares her story to support others going through similar challenges.

In her free time, Jamie enjoys life by spending time outdoors with her husband, daughter Brynlee, and their dog Nala. Jamie embraces every moment, whether it’s watching Brynlee dance, play soccer, or practice gymnastics, or exploring trails up north on their RZR. Her dedication and passion for connecting with seniors make her an invaluable part of the Gables of Germantown team.

Samantha Koller

Registered nurse

Sam is our Memory Care RN. She loves helping residents feel at home during such a big transition in their lives. Sam loves helping people and in her role as RN, she gets to help the residents and their families! Growing up Sam wanted to be a chef, which may not quite fit her current role, but in her free time it definitely does. When Sam isn’t caring for residents, you might find her going out to eat and trying new restaurants. And with a personal motto, “There is always room for ice cream – it fills the cracks,” you know food is also a big part of her life. The biggest part, however, is her son. Sam spends most of her free time playing with or snuggling her son. The one thing she wants most in life is to see her son grow up and be happy. We are so lucky to have such a fun and caring RN like Sam here at the Gables of Germantown!

Joan Rider

Memory Care Manager

In 2010, Joan started her career in senior living working as the activity lady in Memory Care. Her supervisor encouraged – and accepted – her willingness to try out-of-the-box, unconventional engagement activities. It was at that time that Joan knew she wanted to move into management of a Memory Care community.

Joan joined the Capri Communities team at a sister community while it was still under construction as the Lifestyle Enrichment Coordinator of Memory Care and Assisted Living. She transitioned to a different company, spending five years gaining experience in skilled nursing. There, Joan successfully managed a deficient-free enrichment program, made community connections and implemented a wide array of unique programs. During that time, she successfully obtained her certificate as a Certified Dementia Practitioner. In 2022, Joan returned to Capri Communities as the Memory Care Manager at The Gables of Germantown. As a certified Dementia Live Coach, she offers the Dementia Live experience to staff and families at The Gables. Joan also has an associate degree in business management and marketing principles.

“I absolutely love my job,” said Joan. “It is the perfect combination of staff management, enriching programming and marketing.” When she’s not producing zany and crazy ideas for engagement (like axe throwing!), Joan enjoys playing hockey, mentoring her son’s high school robotics team (residents even took a turn driving the team’s robots) and taking care of her critters, including her turtles. Fun Fact: her turtles visit many other Capri Communities during the week of World Turtle Day!
