Jessica Davis

In her free time, you can find Jessica spending time with her husband and son, playing games, enjoying the outdoors, or snuggling up with one of her 3 fur babies.
Amber Daily
Care Team Coordinator
Amber came into her own when she hired into Hope Landing. With no prior experience in caregiving, she made her way at Hope Landing by truly caring for her residents, having strong dedication to not only them but her teammates as well.
Amber earned quite a few achievements and awards while working at Hope Landing from Teammate of the Quarter to a slightly larger honor when she won the 2020 Caregiver Of The Year for the state of Michigan. All of this excellent work propelled her to her current role as Care Team Coordinator where she oversees our Day Shift Care Team. Amber enjoys staying active at home, she is married to her best friend Ryan and together they have a son Henry. Amber also has 2 fur babies.
