Madeleine Reed
Care Team Coordinator
Maddy has been with Hope Landing for over 3 years. She came to Hope Landing fresh from Central Michigan University. Because Maddy had experience in food service at CMU she initially joined Hope Landing in the kitchen. At the time, she thought it would be a year or less tenure. After a while Maddy decided to try being a Caregiver within the business. It was during this time that her heart was really changed and she decided that caring for seniors is what she was meant to do. Maddy has always been a favorite of our residents and has frequently been voted Teammate of the Quarter by her peers.
All of her success lead to her earning her current role as our Care Team Coordinator where she leads our care team. Outside of work Maddy has many hobbies. She has two pups which she loves to snuggle, she enjoys painting, playing card, watching TV and renovating her 100+ year old farm house.
