In the course of working toward fulfilling our mission, some staff members devote many years and even decades of their lives to making Homestead Village a better place to live and work. Along that journey they are joined by many competent and caring individuals who, for a variety of reasons, choose to pursue a different challenge after a few years. Sometimes great staff members leave due to an incredible job offer and sometimes it is the need to do something different. Homestead Village is blessed to welcome back three returning leaders who bring outstanding knowledge and capability to our leadership team.
Carol Huff |
Carol Huff is returning to the position of Director of Nursing after a six year hiatus. Carol served as Director of Nursing at Homestead Village from 2001 to 2005. Our team is excited to welcome Carol back. Her passion for quality resident care and her knowledge make her invaluable. Carol has her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Millersville University and a Masters in Nursing with a concentration in geriatrics from the University of Deleware. She has studied extensively both in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Yojaira Alamonte |
Yojaira Almonte, Jay, is returning as our Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator, a position she previously held in 2007-08. While working at Homestead Village, Jay became a Registered Nurse . She left to become an RNAC consultant and has helped numerous other nursing homes with their compliance. Jay is very excited to return to Homestead Village to work with Carol Huff, whom she met while Carol was working as a Department of Health surveyor.
Laura Tallarico |
Earlier this year, Laura Tallarico returned to Homestead Village as our Director of Human Resources.
