| Tracy officially joined the CountryHouse team in July 2024 as Executive Director. With over 25 years of experience in healthcare, her journey began as an Activity Assistant in long-term care, where she discovered a passion for caring for the elderly, particularly those with dementia. Tracy has been an LPN for 21 years and is also a Licensed Nursing Home/Assisted Living Administrator with 8 years of experience. She has recently re-certified as a Dementia Care Practitioner. Throughout her career, Tracy has held various roles, including in activities, social services, staff development/education, admissions/marketing, CNA/MA, restorative care, and charge nurse positions. Her diverse expertise has made her a well-rounded leader in the field. Tracy is a proud mother to her 19-year-old college student, Trey, and shares her home with two dogs, two cats, and several aquariums. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities like camping, fishing, and traveling, and is an avid football fan, hoping to attend more NFL games in the future. |
 | Loni is our HR Assistant, bringing 3.5 years of experience in Human Resources from a non-profit organization in Colorado that served 10 counties with programs in mental health, crisis intervention, and family services. Passionate about connecting the right people to our community, Loni takes pride in being the first point of contact for new team members. She loves helping employees find their fit, watching them grow, and fostering a welcoming environment for everyone who joins.

 | Kati Brunt is the Director of Nursing at CountryHouse Grand Island. Her healthcare career began in 2008 as a CNA in long-term care, right in Grand Island. After becoming an LPN in 2015, Kati served as a charge nurse and later as Assistant Director of Nursing. While she enjoyed her leadership role, Kati missed the hands-on care she was most passionate about, which led her to roles in hospice care, oncology nursing, and eventually as a Nurse Manager at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Despite her success, Kati felt a strong calling to return to working with the elderly population, where her career first began. Kati is also a dedicated mother to her two children, Landon and Alivia. In her free time, she enjoys spending time near the water and caring for her three pets: a cat named Shadow, a bearded dragon named Phoenix, and a dog named Zoey. |
 | Lori, our Culinary Services Manager, brings over 30 years of experience and a passion for serving others. She earned her Dietary Manager Certificate in 1991 and holds certifications as a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), Certified Food Protection Professional (CFPP), and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP). She joined CountryHouse in April 2023 to lead the Culinary Services team, creating meals that bring joy to residents while building meaningful connections with them and their families. Lori’s journey began as a part-time dishwasher, and her dedication quickly propelled her to leadership. She takes pride in providing exceptional dining experiences and leading a team that makes a difference every day. |
 | Ruth brings a diverse and well-rounded background in sales, human resources, and public service to her role as Sales Director at CountryHouse. Her career began in hotel sales and management shortly after college, where she developed a strong foundation in customer service and relationship-building. She later transitioned into human resources, working as a recruiter for a staffing agency and then for a major employer in Lincoln for a total of seven years. A major life event led Ruth to relocate to Grand Island to support her daughter and granddaughter. After a year with a local company, Ruth met Tracy Schuyler at CountryHouse, and everything fell into place. The opportunity to serve seniors in the Grand Island community felt like a calling. Ruth was inspired by the individuals she met and knew she had the integrity, empathy, and emotional intelligence to make a difference. She describes joining CountryHouse as a blessing and considers it an honor to help families feel confident and at peace knowing their loved ones are receiving compassionate, personalized care in a safe and beautiful setting. In her free time, Ruth enjoys playing golf and watching her granddaughter pitch for Prodigy 10U, a Grand Island softball team. |
