SENIOR LIVING LEADERS UNDER 40
AMY FOUTS Regional Director of Operations Capri Communities LLC Age: 29
AMY FOUTS hit the ground running when she began her career as assistant executive director at Casa del Mare, a Capri community in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Coming onboard during the construction and pre-leasing period, Fouts and team achieved 100% occupancy for the community faster than any com- munity in the company’s history. Her leadership reduced employee turnover to the lowest level in the company and established systems that maintained 100% compliance with all quality standards and regulations. Casa del Mare was named “Best Assisted Living in Kenosha” and Fouts was nominated by her team for Best Boss in the annual “Best of Kenosha” publication. Not surprisingly, she was promoted to executive director of the community in less than two years. To accommodate Fouts’ rapid progression within the company, Capri created the new position of
regional director of operations. Now responsible for hundreds of assisted living and memory care residences, Fouts maintains occupancy averages at all of her communities at or greater than 90%. She also became the lead regional director responsible for implementing a unique assisted living inte- gration into an independent living setting (called Enhanced Services Program) now being replicated throughout the country as a way to manage the flow of residents through the continuum of care.
STEPHANIE HILDEBRANT brings a zest for personal growth to her role in leading Caretel Inns of America’s 16 assisted living communities throughout the state of Michigan. Hildebrant uses her education and experience to develop the future leaders of the organization while helping Caretel grow its business. She has earned advanced degrees in nursing, business administration, and law, several of which were earned while she worked full time. Her love of numbers is a primary asset that has enabled her to combine profitable operations with quality of care in the direction of Caretel’s communities. In addition to managing the overall operations of the organization’s assisted living communities,
which are licensed as adult foster care, Hildebrant was responsible for overseeing the development of six new Inns during the past five years. Supervising the construction and opening included every- thing from donning a hard hat for multiple inspections to ordering the furniture. Just as importantly, Hildebrant focuses daily efforts on enabling residents to live to their maximum potential despite any limitations. She works to improve their living environment and provide them with dignity, value, and importance.
