Jeannette is new to her Activity Director position, but not to Treemont. Jeannette is one of Treemont’s notoriously long-tenured staff, serving our residents as a CNA since 2008!! “I attended Texas Health School and performed my training and clinical at Treemont. I fell in love with the residents and I’ve been here ever since.”  On her own initiative, Jeannette took the Activity Director Certification class and spent 3 months as an Activity Assistant before being promoted.

“Jeannette brings a new dynamism to this position,” says Administrator Cynthia Lamison. “We believe activities are central to our resident’s well-being and have been impressed with the various new initiatives Jeannette has implemented, including building a Mystery Box for residents with dementia.” Jeannette has also launched several programs to include Independent Living Residents, including the “Treemont Idol” show and several “Painting with a Twist” classes.

“We have many independent living residents that come for a short-term Medicare stay,” says Jeanette. “They bond with staff and residents and enjoy the opportunity to visit their friends and engage in activities from painting, bingo among other programs.” 

Jeannette has a passion for working with seniors. “I love to see the smiles on their faces. Sometimes it’s just a familiar face and a few kind words that can brighten a person’s day. I’m always grateful to assist and encourage. I enjoy overall interacting with the resident’s — they’re just as much as a joy to me as I am to them. They’ve brightened my days on many occasions. I can’t imagine not being able to shed a ray of sunshine on someone’s cloudy day and these resident’s seem to do it for me.

Jeannette is from New Orleans, having evacuated to Houston post-Katrina in 2005. She has 3 children. She enjoys photography and is also a licensed cosmetologist.
