Gini Myers, Admininistrator

MS, LBSW, LNHA

I am passionate about serving older adults and helping create communities where residents feel valued, respected, and truly at home. With more than eight years of experience in healthcare, social services, and long-term care, I have dedicated my career to improving the quality of life for individuals and families through compassionate leadership and person-centered care.

I hold a Master of Science in Gerontology and am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). My educational background and professional experience have provided me with a strong understanding of the unique needs of older adults, as well as the importance of fostering meaningful relationships, preserving dignity, and supporting independence.

“My goal is to create a community where residents feel at home, families feel supported, and staff feel valued for the important work they do every day.” – Gini Myers

Katlyn Custer, Assistant Operator and Activities Director

I serve in a dual role as the Assistant operator and Activity Director, bringing both clinical experience and a passion for resident engagement to our community. I have over eight years of experience as a CNA and six years as a CMA, giving me a strong foundation in providing compassionate, hands-on care.

I discovered my love for senior care early in my career and have continued to grow in the field by expanding my skills and responsibilities. I am currently working toward earning my nursing license to further advance my healthcare career and continue making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.

I believe that great care goes beyond daily tasks – it’s about building genuine connections and ensuring every resident feels valued, respected and well cared for. In my role as Activity Director, I am dedicated to creating engaging experiences that enrich residents’ lives and foster a true sense of community.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and take every opportunity that I can to be in the great outdoors.

Deidre Swift, Business Office Manager

[email protected]

With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, I transitioned into healthcare to pursue my passion for supporting individuals and families during pivotal moments in their lives. As the Social Service Director at Advena Living at Fountainview, I focus on enhancing the quality of life for our residents through compassionate care and personalized support. My background in customer service equips me with strong communication and problem-solving skills, enabling me to advocate effectively for our residents’ needs.

I strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where each resident feels valued and respected. My commitment to following Advena Living’s L.I.F.E. core values —Loyalty, Integrity, Fortitude, and Engagement— ensures that our residents receive the highest level of care and support.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places with my husband and our two girls. As a music lover and classic car enthusiast, I find joy in diverse experiences. Sundays are my favorite days to pick up a book and escape into another world, often forgetting about the laundry in the process. This blend of personal and professional passions allows me to connect deeply with those around me, making each day fulfilling and meaningful.

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.
