Our Team

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.

Robert “Bobby” George calls his role at GreenTree his “dream job.” He enjoys keeping the residents safe and comfortable while ensuring everything in their apartments and home works as they should. Bobby refers to the residents as friends and is always quick with a joke or has time to chit chat when someone needs to talk. He loves to dance with the ladies who need a partner and makes sure they take turns because there is “plenty of Bobby to go around!” When not dancing and joking with the residents, you might find Bobby camping or fishing or spending time with his wife Julianne, their five children and seven grandchildren.
