Andrea S.

Director of Nursing

Andrea has served as Director of Nursing at Northgate Care Center since 2021, bringing with her a wealth of experience from skilled nursing homes, hospitals, and clinics. A humble leader who prefers to shine a light on her team rather than herself, Andrea has nonetheless guided her nursing department through three consecutive deficiency-free state surveys—a remarkable accomplishment that reflects both her leadership and her commitment to excellence in resident care.

Her passion for nursing began with a focus on pediatrics and geriatrics—two populations she believes require the strongest advocates. That belief fuels her work every day as she supports residents and families through compassionate, person-centered care. Andrea holds an Associate Degree in Nursing from Western Technical College and earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Upper Iowa University in 2016. She’s driven by a deep desire to teach and empower others, with future aspirations of earning her Master’s in Nursing Education. Andrea approaches each day with empathy, advocacy, and the goal of making a meaningful difference—one smile at a time.

Jenny W.

Assisted Living Manager/health Service Coordinator

Jenny’s career in senior care is rooted in passion, empathy, and hands-on experience. As the Assisted Living Manager and Health Service Coordinator at South crest Manor II Assisted Living, she leads with a servant heart—having spent 13 years as a CNA before stepping into leadership in 2021. Her deep understanding of frontline caregiving enables her to support and guide her team with authenticity and respect.

Initially pursuing medical billing, Jenny’s plans shifted after discovering her love for geriatrics. What began as a short-term role turned into a lifelong calling. Today, she finds joy in the relationships she builds with tenants, families, and her team—considering them all part of the Southcrest family. Her mission is simple: to ensure residents feel supported and cared for, and to inspire her staff to provide the best care possible. Jenny wakes up each day proud to do the work she loves.

At Northgate Care Center residents find genuine connection with the staff who are not only hard working but truly caring. Residents are able to feel at home with the comfort of a private room and excellent meals served with dignity. Residents also benefit from enriching daily activities like therapy, exercise, and transportation when needed.
