We are pleased to introduce you to just a few of our many essential team members. Each member of our group here at Sunrise of Minnetonka firmly believes in the Sunrise mission: to champion the quality of life for all seniors. We are honored to spend our days caring for the residents that we call family.
Tammy came to Sunrise wanting to become part of an organization that truly reflected their mission statement – to champion the quality of life for all seniors. “I believe we are blessed to write in the final chapters of each resident’s life, daily.”
Her passion is focused on ensuring the quality care that Sunrise is known for and belief that we can all make a difference in a resident’s life every day. “To find that what you do for a living is celebrating your passion – that is an amazing opportunity,” Tammy states.
Tammy enjoys traveling to Colorado, being near the ocean and most importantly, her family.
“When families start the journey of researching and needing assisted living for their loved ones, it is my pleasure and honor to help them down this sometimes difficult road. Often, there are many questions and emotions involved when making this decision. I am passionate about being able to bring Sunrise to more families, whether it is an immediate need or just educating for the future, and seeing families feel that they are making the right decision for their loved ones. It’s truly gratifying to see the relief that families feel knowing that their loved one is safe, secure and engaged throughout the day at our Minnetonka community."
“What I love most about Sunrise is the commitment we all have to our residents and their family members. Having been in many positions throughout the years, I have seen how each team member plays a special role on providing the most dignifying care while here with us and making each day a positive one.
I am honored to be part of the team in Minnetonka and see the joy that our resident’s and the team have each time I am here.”
"I have always been passionate about working in Healthcare. I started out as an office manager in Eye Care. After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I was offered a position running an Ambulatory Surgery Center with eight different specialties. Working with seniors is a passion of mine and what brought me here.
In my spare time, spending time with my family and loved ones is what brings me joy. Along with traveling, being on the water and soaking up the sun."
“What I love about my role is the smiles I see from the residents, families and from our team - that energizes me every day.
I chose Sunrise because it is truly unique and feels like home. That is a great feeling to walk into each day – it’s my home away from home.”
“I love seeing my residents every morning and continuing to build a relationship with each of them. I wouldn’t be as successful here as I am today without my amazing team members. As a team we work every day to improve the quality of life of all of our residents and maintain the relationship we have built with them.
I chose Sunrise because the residents are the main priority. Residents are encouraged to participate in daily activities such as: exercise classes, flower arranging, outdoor activities, bus rides, fishing, movie outings, lunch outings, and so much more. Sunrise is always looking to better the well-being of others, including the staff. Residents are allowed freedom of choice and encouraged to be independent.”
“In my role, my main priority is to help our residents in every way possible while giving them freedom of choice and preserving dignity.
I’m proud to work at Sunrise because of the way our teams work together to make our residents’ lives the best they can be. I love to see the special connection we all make with our residents, especially with music! A day without Johnny Cash is just not a day!”
