Assisted Living at Mulberry Campus

Shantel is dedicated to enriching residents’ lives and fostering meaningful connections within the community. She joined Mulberry Campus as a caregiver and never envisioned herself in a leadership position. However, fueled by her aspirations to contribute more to her team, she transitioned to the role of Dietary Manager before eventually assuming her current role as Assistant Executive Director, a position she has held since 2022.

She draws inspiration from her best friend, who serves as a source of wisdom and guidance in her life. Shantel is known for her sweet, fun-loving nature and brings excellent communication, positivity and organizational skills to her role. With a focus on continual improvement, she aims to deepen her relationships with residents, families and her team. Her motto – “Image is one thing and the human being is another… it’s very hard to live up to an image.” Elvis Presley – emphasizes authenticity and staying true to herself.

When she’s not working, Shantel enjoys life by raising her son to be the best he can be, spending time with family and friends, embarking on DIY projects and perusing flea markets. She fuels her outgoing, positive energy by indulging in coffee all day!

Shantel’s resilience and determination serve as inspiration as she encourages residents to persevere in the face of challenges.

Meet Andrew, our passionate Lifestyle Enrichment Coordinator. One of Andrew’s greatest prides is witnessing the joy on residents’ faces as they engage in his planned activities. And his favorite moments are when residents surprise themselves by accomplishing things they once believed were beyond their capabilities. In his childhood, he dreamt of becoming a police officer, but life took him on a different, fulfilling path. Though Andrew never envisioned himself in this role initially, he fell in love with the unique experience of working with older generations. On Sunday mornings, you’ll likely find Andrew sipping on a cup of coffee with a cat in his lap, enjoying a peaceful moment. He aspires to be remembered as a perpetually happy person. Always wearing a smile, Andrew believes in spreading positivity and finding happiness in every situation. Reflecting on the valuable lessons learned from residents, he emphasizes the importance of kindness and discourages comparing yourself to others. Andrew points out that everyone is fighting their own battle, but carrying a compassionate mindset can make a world of difference.

Despite facing challenges along the way, Erin persisted and eventually found herself fulfilling her dream role.
