I was born and raised in Vinton, IA. From the age of 7, I wanted to be a nurse and “help” people. I started at Windsor Manor in 2010 as the Director of Health & Wellness. I jumped from a career as a labor & delivery nurse into geriatric care and never looked back. I love the relationships created in the assisted living setting that I could never create in a 12-hour hospital shift. In 2016, I added the role as Executive Director under my belt. Being both director and RN allows me to encompass all areas of elderly care and follow my dream.

I am married with four children and continue to live in Vinton. I love the small-town community and relationships that I have with the doctors, nurses, our local hospital, and clinics. These relationships allow me to provide exceptional care to our residents.

It is a privilege and honor to be allowed to care for our elderly population. Every day I’m focused on promoting their autonomy and freedoms as they transition into this new phase of their lives. I thank them for choosing me to be part of their lives. I look forward to continuing this journey with them.

I am Nancy Schmitz the Business Office Manager. I’ve been with Windsor Manor Vinton since we opened in 2007. I started as the Dietary Manager, worked into the Activity Director position, and am now the BOM! I dearly love the residents and strive to make their time with us here fulfilling. I’ve told more than one family, “Thank you for sharing your mom/dad with us”.

I am happily married to my husband Keith. We have one daughter, two sons, two grandchildren and two dogs. My favorite past time is fishing with my husband, especially when I out fish him! I thank Windsor Manor for the opportunity to work with our amazing residents and staff.

Hi, my name is Kelsey McWilliams, and I am the Activity Director at Windsor Manor Vinton.

I have worked in the healthcare industry for 8 years. Caring for seniors is my passion, I value enriching the lives of my residents every day. I was raised in Clutier, Iowa but now call Vinton my home. In my downtime, I love to spend time with family and friends.

I am new to the cooking industry as a career. I started my employment as a cook at Windsor Manor in Vinton Iowa in 2016. I was promoted to the Dietary Manager position in November 2021.

While living at home as a high school student, my mom gave me the responsibility of putting supper on the table every evening. I love to cook, bake, and serve appetizing meals. I am Mom to 4 daughters, 1 son, and Grandma to 15 grandchildren.

My goal is to serve meals “just like home” to our residents.
