Melissa Kolb - Team Member since 2016

Director of Sales

"I began my career in senior living in 2005 and am thrilled to be a part of the Sunrise of Cuyahoga Falls community. I enjoy meeting new families when they first come to visit Sunrise, learning about the individuality of each new resident, and sharing the way that our community will honor their preferences. The best part of my role is seeing the relief new residents and their families express when they discover that our warm, caring, experienced community will give them the peace of mind they have been looking for. When I am not at Sunrise I enjoy spending time with my son and traveling. Each summer my son and I take a trip to see the Cleveland Indians play in a different city.

Jessica Wokojance - Team Member since 2016

Resident Care Director

"I have worked for Sunrise since 2016, first as the Wellness nurse, and now as the Resident Care Director. Prior to Sunrise, I worked in community based mental health care, and in cardiovascular surgery intensive care.

My favorite part about my job at Sunrise is providing residents with the person centered care and services that support their best quality of life. I love that Sunrise residents are treated with dignity and respect in a family like atmosphere. The loving family atmosphere and teamwork at Sunrise make coming to work feel like an extension of home! I am happy knowing that my nursing skills are put to good use to support the health and well-being of our residents. I also enjoy supporting residents and family members through tough times and celebrating along with them during good times.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my pets. I am an animal lover and support several local animal rescue organizations."

Lori Walsh - Team Member since 2011

Lead Care Manager, Reminiscence

“I have been a Team Member at Sunrise of Cuyahoga Falls since 2011. Working at Sunrise has been a blessing and a joy for me. Not only do our residents have so much wit and wisdom, but they have fascinating stories from their lives. 

Serving seniors every day is an awesome experience. I love to make someone’s day brighter by helping them bake a treasured recipe in our kitchen that evokes a warm memory from a time long ago. They give me joy at the end of the day and make me a better person. Our residents have much to offer the world.”

Amanda Shofter - Team Member since 2012

Dining Room Care Manager 

“My legacy at Sunrise began in 2012. I grew up in a home with my grandparents, which I believe is the source my passion for seniors. When I am at work, it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like home. Sunrise Senior Living is a warm loving place filled with serving hearts and people who are there simply for the joy in service. 

As Sunrise continues to grow, I have grown with it. It has given me the opportunity to do what I love with the people I love. My grandparents played such a huge role in my life and serving seniors is the least I can do to express my gratitude. 

In my spare time, I enjoy remodeling furniture, cooking new recipes, and spending time with my family and friends “
