Client Care Manager - Post Falls Idaho

My name is LeeAnna Brown, Client Care Manager in Post Falls, Idaho. I have been in the healthcare field for seven years. I started in memory care as a CNA working directly with the Dementia and Alzheimer’s population. I am passionate about taking care of people, not only our elderly population, but also the caregivers that take care of them. I moved to the management side of healthcare because I want to make a difference in as many lives as possible. I feel that if care staff know that they are honestly cared about, they provide the best care for their clients. Hobbies that I enjoy outside of work are traveling, spending time with my family, learning new things daily, and cooking. I am thankful to be part of Serengeti Care, and am able to positively impact others’ lives. My goal is to make a difference in the world, no matter how small that difference is, it is still a difference.

Client Care Manager - Sandpoint

Hello, I’m Heather Hill, Sandpoint Client Care Manager. I am so excited to be part of the Serengeti team. I started my journey in the healthcare field 14 years ago. I started in the house keeping department at the same nursing home my mother worked at. In 2009, I completed the Kansas C.N.A program and got my license, I then was moved out of housekeeping and onto the floor to patient care. I stayed at that nursing home setting for four years. In 2011 then moved to Colorado where I became a traveling C.N.A., traveling across Colorado working whenever and wherever I was needed. The experience I gained from working in different facilities really opened my eyes to wanting to become more than a C.N.A. I saw a need for better training in the field of caregivers and knew I wanted to be able to help improve the care being provided. Seeing the need encouraged me to go to college where I earned my Bachelor of Business and Human Resources degree along with Idaho C.N.A. and Washington C.N.A licenses. Outside of work I am a proud Army Veteran wife and a mom of two beautiful children. I love coffee and sunshine. My goal would be to provide in home care for all our Veterans!!! I’m proud to say I work for Serengeti Care.
