Dennis Became Maintenance Director in the Fall of 2022. He diligently monitors and maintains the facility repairs and alterations, while working closely with the residents and their needs.

He and his wife, with proper training, stepped in and became caregivers. Once his father in-law passed, Dennis believed with his training and experience with dementia there could be a need for him in healthcare.
