I’ve been a licensed Nursing Home Administrator since 2010, and prior to that was a Business Office Manager for both home health and a nursing home for 7 years. In 2016, I also obtained my Assisted Living Manager’s Certificate. As an Administrator, I’ve been blessed to serve all over the state in a mix of rural communities, large communities, small-board governed facilities, and corporate managed facilities. While it’s given me a broad base of knowledge and experience, I have found that I love the environment of Assisted Living the most! It’s truly an environment that allows our tenants autonomy and to live their best life!

I was raised and currently live in Ankeny. I have three grown children and am a Grandma of 3 little ones, with another on the way in May of 2024! I enjoy leading a simple life at home and antiquing.

I joined the Windsor Team in 2021. The entire team here at Windsor Manor-Nevada makes my days so enjoyable and together we can accomplish anything!

I have 11 years of working in healthcare experience, and 7 of those are in the Business Office Management role. My Husband Seth and I live in Altoona, IA along with our adorable dogs Violet & Hunter. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my 5 nephews and 2 most precious nieces, playing with the dogs, and hanging out gaming with my husband and friends. My hobbies are shopping, drinking fancy coffee, and photography. I’m very grateful to be a part of the Windsor Manor family.

Hi! I’m Tami Brower, and I have been a nurse for nearly 30 years and love caring for people! Working with seniors and their families is my passion. I have 3 beautiful kids that keep me busy, and I love to bake and being outdoors! Looking forward to getting to know all the residents and families.

My name is Melinda Sly, I go by Mindee. I was born and raised in Story county and have resided in Nevada for the past 18yrs. I am married to an amazing man named Zach and we have four beautiful children. 3 girls and 1 boy ages 12,10,7, and 3. Maycee, Olivia, Zayden, and Everlie.

I love doing things with my family! Some of our favorite things to do are to go to the park, we like to go to different
places including the zoo or science center, watching my children’s activities like soccer, dance, and basketball. We enjoy playing games, watching movies, and cooking together. On most summer weekends you can find us at the track. I grew up with dirt track racing and love watching my uncle race his modified!

I have worked in health care since I was 16yrs old. My passion has always been working and helping people whenever I can! I especially love working with seniors. One reason I started working with seniors is because my grandparents meant the world to me, and they have now passed away. Now I have many adopted grandparents and my goal is to keep them as active as possible and to keep them smiling!

My name is Natasha Welch, and I am the Dietary Manager at Windsor Manor and I have a strong passion for what I do. I’m from Winterset the John Wayne Museum bought my house and built the new one where it was. I live in Colo now with my mom and 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 bearded dragons. I have a younger sister who had my nephew. I love animals and wanted to be a zoologist. I have AA and AS degrees in criminal justice. I wanted to be a private investigator for a little while. I like to make jewelry, try new candy and drinks. Also, thunderstorms are my favorite.

I was born in rural Winterset, Iowa, then moved with my parents and four brothers to different towns in Iowa, ending up in Zearing, Iowa where I attended kindergarten to 8th grade. We then moved to Huxley, Iowa where I attended 9th-12th grade. My first jobs were mowing yards and paper routes. I joined the Navy when I was 19 during the Vietnam war for 4 years. After the service, I went to DMACC in Ankeny for Telecommunications (I wanted to be a telephone man just like my dad.) I couldn’t find work close to home, so I went back to school at the National Education Center in Des Moines and obtained an Associate’s degree in Electronic Engineering Technology. Electronics has always fascinated me and is one of my hobbies. I worked for 8 years working on pinball machines, jukeboxes, and video games. I was then a senior maintenance technician at Burke Marketing for 10 years. I then went to Mary Greeley Medical Center where I was a Biomedical Electronics Technician maintaining dialysis machines and the water systems for 14 years. I retired in 2018 but was looking for something to do and found my present position as Maintenance Director here at Windsor!
