👏Every once in a while, we love to share the stories of those who call us home here at Knopp’s, and Krisha Collier is someone whose heart for this work is deeply genuine and beautiful, and a story we’d love to share with you here today.🥰
Krisha shared with us that her journey in long-term care began 30 years ago as a Certified Nurse’s Aide, right at the bedside. “That’s where I first discovered how much I loved working with the elderly,” she told us. “After a couple of years, I moved into marketing and admissions, but in my heart I’ve always felt like I’m still advocating for the same people I cared for at the bedside.”
For Krisha, helping families during important life decisions is deeply personal. “Supporting residents and guiding families with compassion and honesty isn’t just my job, it really is my calling. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
She also spoke about a very special member of her life who many of our residents have come to adore..her seven-year-old blue heeler, Koe. Krisha laughed and said, “Koe loves the residents just as much as I do. He’s happiest when he’s getting pets, playing a little fetch, and making someone smile.” And anyone who has met Koe knows that’s the truth, he has a gentle way of brightening a room and creating sweet moments that residents look forward to.🐶
Krisha joined Knopp Healthcare and Votive Hospice in 2019, and she told us it immediately felt like the right place. “Being part of a family-owned organization means something. The teamwork, the compassion, the way people truly care for each other, it feels like home. Over time, my coworkers really have become like family.”
If you ever have questions about any of our four communities or about Votive Hospice, Krisha wants families to know that she is here for you, fully, “It’s always an honor to be entrusted to be here for families when navigating the next steps for their loved ones. Those decisions matter, and people deserve someone who will walk through them with honesty, care and understanding.”🫂
We’re grateful to have people like Krisha and Koe here sharing their hearts with our residents and their families in the best way we know how here at Knopp Healthcare and Votive Hospice.. with our small-town hearts and generations of care.❤️🐾
