Carolyn Engert, LNHA

Carolyn Engert, LNHA, is a dedicated long-term care administrator with eight years of experience serving older adults and supporting the teams responsible for their care. She earned a double major in Long-Term Healthcare and Healthcare Administration from Ohio University, complemented by a minor in business and gerontology, and received an outstanding graduate award during her senior year. Her career is particularly focused on dementia care, Alzheimer’s support, and memory care, with an emphasis on creating safe, comfortable environments where residents feel valued, respected, and cared for.

As an Administrator at Country View of Sunbury and Foundations Health Solutions, Carolyn combines operational leadership with a hands-on approach to resident care. She believes effective leadership means leading by example and remaining connected to the people and daily operations of a facility. Rather than managing solely from behind a desk, she actively works alongside staff and supports activities, meals, housekeeping, and other aspects of resident life. Her commitment to quality and regulatory excellence has contributed to her facility achieving a deficiency-free annual state survey, reflecting strong standards of compliance, teamwork, and resident care.

Carolyn’s leadership philosophy is grounded in compassion, perseverance, education, and continuous learning. Inspired by her grandfather’s emphasis on education and mentorship, as well as mentors who encouraged her throughout her career, she believes healthcare professionals should continually develop their knowledge and share it with others. She is passionate about making a meaningful difference for residents and families, particularly those navigating the challenges of dementia and aging. Outside of her professional responsibilities, Carolyn demonstrates the same discipline and determination in her personal pursuits, including completing a half Ironman, reflecting her commitment to setting ambitious goals and persevering through challenges.
