Nicole Roenius is joining as Therapy Director and Melissa Alexander will be filling the role of Life Enrichment Director for Desert Willow and Acacia.
Roenius is joining Sagewood after many years of working for a sister Life Care Services (LCS) community in Milwaukee and prior to that she worked with stroke, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis patients in a skilled nursing facility.
At Acacia, Roenius will be managing the therapists, providing updates to family members, caring for residents, creating discharge plans, and training new team members. She will be in a managerial role, but her goal is to treat the residents, as well, to stay active in the Sagewood community.
“In her short time in the role, Nicole is already making a huge impact at Acacia Health Center, Sagewood and Desert Willow,” says Natalie Miko, Acacia Health Center Administrator.
As the new Life Enrichment Director at Acacia and Desert Willow, Alexander will be providing oversight and support to the Community Life Coordinators in assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. Her role will include administrative tasks, assisting with scheduled programs, and ensuring that activities offered in all three areas of care adhere to the dimensions of wellness and Sagewood standards as well as implementing LCS’s signature service, HeartFelt Connections for residents in memory care and assisted living.
“Adding Melissa to the team shortly after Nicole joined Acacia, has made our community even stronger. These two new employees are creating such a welcoming, caring environment for our residents and we are lucky to have them on our team,” adds Ed Smith, Associate Executive Director of Sagewood.
