Bill Smiley, Activity Director

“I can truthfully say that working at Carman Oaks has been the highlight of my 45 years of employment.  I look forward to coming to work each day and the challenges of scheduling meaningful activities for seniors.  I also welcome the opportunity to be a part of the Carman Oaks team with fellow staff members and being able to develop valued relationships with residents.  For me, it is like being part of a big extended family rather than just having a ‘job’.”

Kevin Langley, Food and Beverage Director

"Food is most certainly a central part of people’s lives. Cooking for seniors is a creative challenge, as they know what they like and have discerning palates. Truly, meals must not only be tasty, but nutrition and use of fresh healthy ingredients must also be considered. I love that I can strive to please the residents each day, and add a little happiness to their life through an enjoyable experience."

Randy Frederick, Maintenance Director

"I have worked at Carman Oaks for 14 years, and have met a lot of wonderful residents. Although I know all the in’s and out’s of this building, it’s the people inside that make coming to work enjoyable each day. On the occasions I have to chat with residents I’ve come to appreciate how much of a community Carman Oaks really is."
