GreenTree at Mt. Vernon
Our Team

Lana has worked with elders since she was 16. 

She started as a CNA in a skilled nursing facility. She eventually worked her way up to a business office position. Lana came to realize after many years of working in skilled care facilities that her true passion was assisted living. 

Lana enjoys being able to build trusting relationships with the residents and their families as well as the community staff. She has the heart to serve the elderly and enjoys the time she gets to spend bonding with the residents at Greentree. 

She has two young adult children and has been married to her loving husband since 1999. When not working, Lana enjoys spending time with her family, watching movies, baking, and volunteering at her church. 

Shirley comes to GreenTree with over 20 years of experience in sales, spending the most recent in senior living. Shirley enjoys building relationships with seniors and helping navigate a smooth transition from Independent Living to Assisted living. She is excited to be apart of the GreenTree family and looks forward to continuing her passion of helping seniors. When she is not at work she enjoys spending time with her family, her grandchild and her 3 dogs Winnie, Ivy and Hank. She enjoys interior design and watching HGTV.

Kim began her career at Greentree as a cook and then moved to housekeep for 7 ½ years. She then worked as the Life Enrichment Coordinator and spent 10 years putting smiles on our resident's faces. Now as the Business Services Director, Kim loves being able to still spend time with the residents and help with any needs they may have.

Kim loves camping, fishing, hiking, and spending time with her family. She has two sons and two beautiful granddaughters. She’s a true animal lover and has taken care of several sick and orphaned animals in the past years. Kim has a dog named Eevee, who Kim claims is a spoiled brat!

She believes the elderly should live their lives to their fullest and be taken care of, because if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be here today.

Kim has spent over 25 years working at a nursing home with an Alzheimer’s unit. Her passion for memory care grew from that experience and she has served as a facilitator for the Alzheimer’s Association Support Group and is a Dementia Care Specialist. Kim has personal experience with dementia care as several family members have been on the Alzheimer’s journey and the memory care residents at GreenTree have her full heart. In her free time, Kim enjoys spending time with her husband taking care of their animals. She also enjoys playing cards and horseback riding.

When not working, Dallas loves to travel, camp and jam out to music.
