Leadership & Careers

OUR TEAM | CAREERS

At The Clark Manor House, in order to deliver quality services, housing and programs that promote quality of life and dignity amount senior adults, we strive to hire the best staff possible. This starts with our leadership team and continues with all 26 staff. We all treat our residents like family out of respect and with love. That is sometimes the difference between a living in an adult home with a family-like team versus a large, corridor-type living facility with a large staff. What’s even better is we have more nursing staff than required because we think it’s important the best level of care possible. If you ever have a question, please feel free to email our Administrator, Debbra Woodruff at clarkmanor@frontiernet.net.

Assistant Administrator | Stacie Cooley

Stacie Cooley is our Assistant Administrator and has been with The Clark Manor House (CMH) since 2010. She started as the Nurse Coordinator and was recently promoted to Assistant Administrator in 2018. Stacie provides excellent care for our residents and assists with all operational and staffing needs; filling in for Debbra in her absence. She has more than 20 years of nursing experience and received her nursing degree from Marion S. Whelan School of Practical Nursing in 1994.

Before coming to CMH, Stacie worked for Thompson Continuing Care Center in the Gardens (the dementia floor) for seven years and in the Meadows (long term care) for another seven years. She gained a lot of knowledge, experience, and compassion caring for people and their loved ones living with long-term care needs and dementia.

Stacie believes “being a nurse is about giving the best care you can, and I feel that Clark Manor House allows a caregiver to do that, making caring for a person not just a ‘job’.”

Stacie and her husband, Denny, have one son and five cats. She’s not the crazy cat lady…ok, well maybe. Besides cats, she likes to grow pumpkins, and likes steam trains. Her husband loves trains and they go to the Pageant of Steam in Hopewell every year. They also love driving around in their 1956 Pontiac in the summer.
