The Landing a Senior Living Community
Our Team

Barbara grew up in Roseburg, Oregon and comes from a family with generations of being caregivers and firefighters. She began assisting with care for a family member when she was a teenager and decided to work as a care partner and medication technical at a behavioral facility for seniors for four years before she joined our team at The Landing.

She has worked in various roles such as a care partner, lead care partner trainer, medication technician and now resident care coordinator for assisted living. Barbara loves putting smiles on residents' faces, spending time with them and bringing comfort, positivity, and happiness to their lives and home. In the future, she hopes to go into nursing to gain more knowledge, experiences and be available to care for them as much as possible. In her free time, you can find her going on trips, camping, swimming, exploring, and making as many memories as possible with her six children and husband.

With a solid foundation in caregiving since 2022, Rebecka has traversed various roles within assisted living and memory care, evolving from a caregiver to a med tech, and eventually assuming the role of Resident Care Coordinator (RCC). Prior to this, she dedicated five years to Seven Feathers, refining her customer service skills across different sectors. This diverse experience has equipped her with the empathy and knowledge needed to support residents with dignity and respect.

What truly fuels Rebecka's dedication to this field is enriching the lives of elderly residents. Whether it's witnessing their faces light up with simple pleasures or listening to their heartfelt stories, she is deeply committed to ensuring that each individual receives the exceptional care they deserve. Beyond work, she finds solace in spending quality time with friends and family, embarking on spontaneous adventures, exploring new culinary delights, and reconnecting with nature through camping trips and coastal retreats.

Cheyanne began her journey at The Landing in 2022 as a server in the kitchen. However, after a few months, she felt drawn to have a deeper connection with the residents, prompting her transition to becoming a care partner and later a med tech. With a year of experience in these roles under her belt, Cheyanne decided to explore new horizons and applied for the Life Enrichment position within the community. This role has brought her immense joy as she witnesses the residents embracing new experiences and enjoying the activities, she plans for them. While her role is to bring enrichment to their lives, Cheyanne acknowledges that it is the residents who enrich hers in return.

Tina has worked in the graphic design, marketing, and printing industry since 1991. She earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Art & Graphic Design from Southwestern Illinois College and went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communications/Graphic Design from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.

Tina has many passions. . .from enjoying many forms of arts & crafts, like crocheting, sewing, lace-making, and quilting to name a few, to DIY projects of all kinds, exploring small towns to learn their history, and helping out with the family sheep farm. But her greatest passion of all are her two boys, Evan and Eli. She enjoys the country life in the community where she grew up in southwestern Illinois. Tina’s family all live within 4 miles of each other. 

She is also a lover of what she calls ‘isms’. . .those inspirational sayings that always seem to make their presence known at just the right time. 

Tina firmly believes:
• you reap what you sow.
• you are the master of your own destiny.
• your life is your story, write well and edit often.
• that when writing the story of your life, don’t hand the pen to someone else.
• that if the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never the goal.
• difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
• it is not always about the destination, sometimes it is about the journey.
• it’s never or now.

Seek your crescendo. Age loudly. Live intensely.
