New Administrator Joins Caring Hands

My name is Jennifer Zupke, and I am very happy to be here starting as the new Administrator at Caring Hands! I have worked in health care since I was a teenager, starting out in nursing homes as a CNA. I have worked in hospitals and clinics for most of my career, but moved back into long-term care and senior living about 10 years ago. I truly enjoy all aspects of long-term care. In my spare time, I love spending time with my 3 children and 4 grandchildren, as well as my extended family – I am the oldest of 6 kids! My mother recently taught me how to quilt, so that is my biggest hobby right now, but I also enjoy cooking/baking, gardening and taking my dog for walks!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity here at Caring Hands, and looking forward to meeting all of you in the near future.
