I maintain office efficiency by assisting with onboarding staff, payroll, accounts payable, receivables, monthly billing and medical records. I started my journey here in 2010 and have worked as a CNA, CMA and Activity Director, as well as helping our community members with transportations. It has been a pleasure not only to assist the people in our community, but also to have a direct bond with our staff as they join our team.

I never saw myself in healthcare until after having my son, when my cousin encouraged me to join her. I became a CNA, then a CMA, and earned several certifications. Eventually, I found a permanent role at Advena of Clearwater Assisted Living, where I fell in love with the community. Starting as a CMA, I worked my way up to Activity Director, where I now find joy in creating meaningful experiences that bring happiness and connection to residents.

Outside of work, I’m a devoted wife and mom who loves spending time with my energetic son, husband, and our beloved pets. While still adding to our family I enjoy the chaos and joy of family life and cherish every moment of motherhood.

I have worked at Advena Living of Clearwater since November 2023. I have over 30 years of experience in nursing, as a Certified Activity Director, Social Service Designee, CNA, CMA and EMT. I am dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors, creating engaging programs that promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. I strive to make every day meaningful and enjoyable for the residents.

Outside of work I cherish my roles as mom to my daughters and Nan to my amazing grandchildren. I love spending time with my family and friends, going to sporting events and finding new adventures. My personal experiences inspire my professional work, reminding me every day of the importance of community, compassion and creativity in caring for others.

Barry Farley, Maintenance Director

I was raised in a small town in Barber County, Kan. My family moved to Wichita, where I graduated from Northwest High School. I worked in service stations, went to school as an automotive mechanic, worked in construction, and spent 20 years at Bombardier (Learjet) in the engineering and I.T. departments. I started part time at Fountainview before becoming full time, and then Director of Maintenance. I enjoy the satisfaction of repairing things that do not work and making them usable or improving their appearance. I like the facility because of the community members’ appreciation of my work, and it feels like a small community.
