Memory Care in Kearney, NE

Brandie Hesson-Bullard started as Executive Director of CountryHouse in Kearney in December 2021. She relocated to Nebraska, her home state, from Washington to join our team. Before joining CountryHouse, she served as Community Relations Director at a senior living community in Olympia, WA.

In addition to her work in senior living, Brandie has more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry, in general management, revenue management, catering management and sales.

Her first foray into senior living occurred when she was a child. Her mother was an activities director in senior living, and Brandie would spend time with the residents in her community.

Brandie’s family includes her adult son, Austen, his wife, Taylor, and AJ, who is four years old. In her spare time, Brandie enjoys being outside – fishing, hiking, hunting, gardening and archery are some of her favorite activities. She’s also a proud pup parent.

Amanda Feldman, RN, is our community’s Director of Nursing. In her role, she ensures the physical wellness of all who reside at CountryHouse. 

She began her career in health care as a CNA at age 16. From there, she held various positions including as an outpatient infusion RN at Kearney Regional Medical Center and Platte Valley Medical Group. She earned her LPN, RN and BSN all from Kaplan University, and is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Nursing. 

Amanda was born and raised in Gibbon, NE and moved to Kearney in 2018. She and her husband, Josh, have four children: Ava, Alana, Max and Aero. The family enjoys spending time together and with extended family members in the area.
