Marissa Gilliland, Business Office Manager

I got my CNA when I was 16, then my CMA when I was 21. I have been around long-term care facilities since I was 9 years old. My mom would bring me to work with her and do activities with residents at the nursing homes where she worked. I knew at a young age that working with the elderly was my calling. To hear them say they are glad to see me, or just to get a smile when I walk by, is what I strive for every day. Working in medical records gives me knowledge and experience that I use daily.

Kaylee McCann, Director of Social Services and Activities

[email protected]

At a young age, I had a passion for helping others. That’s when I took it upon myself to become a CNA in high school. Being a CNA allowed me to make life better, easier, and more comfortable for those who reside in nursing facilities.

Shortly after, I received an associates degree in graphic design. Graphic design gave me the opportunity to take a set of problems and turn them into something both useful and beautiful. That is why I went back home to become an Activities and Social Services Director at Advena Living in Clay Center. I enjoy being at this job because I get to help elders find happiness and create activities to make them smile.

I am married and have three beautiful children. We love to go to church and spending time outdoors. I feel at home in my personal life and at work. I am very grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me and can’t wait to make more positive changes in the healthcare industry.

I’ve been running the maintenance department for the last six months and have enjoyed learning something new every day.
