Our Team

Janice Fisher, LNHA

Administrator
I have been working in long term care for 21 years—12 of these as a licensed nursing home administrator. My career began in 1999 when I held a receptionist/medical records position. Over the course of eight years I worked in many different roles in the skilled nursing home setting, which prompted me to become an administrator. I subsequently obtained my license in 2007.

Being a positive influence in the lives of the residents, their families, and staff is very important to me. Holding a leadership role allows me to guide others in providing quality care and support in the nursing center setting. The relationships that are built with the residents are invaluable.

I am proud of my years of service as Administrator of Carrollton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and strive to make a difference every day.

I am currently the Director of Nursing at Carrollton Nursing and Rehabilitation. I have been a nurse for 20 years. I started my career in long-term care in 2000. I have worked in several health care settings, i.e., dialysis, hospice, and rehab. It is my love and passion for the elderly that led me back to geriatric nursing. I left bedside in 2017 and ventured into management. My goal is to positively impact everyone I meet and make a difference in the lives of my residents.

After I obtained my B.S. in sociology and psychology, I became the social worker and have been employed here for 43 years.

Courtney Melville

Admissions Director

I have worked in long-term care for over seven years in various positions. I started out as a CNA, but I have worked as a staffing coordinator, central supply and transport and business office assistant.

The residents we help take care of is what makes long-term care so special. We get to guide them through a time that some have never experienced while also learning about their journey through life. Every resident and every story is unique, but we treat all of our residents the same—like family.

Greta Ayers

Activities Director

I have been employed at Carrollton Nursing and Rehab for the past 24 years. I started my employment here as a CNA and within six months was offered to be part of the bath team. I really enjoyed my time as a CNA/bath team member, and I loved how it made me feel like I made a difference in all of my residents’ lives. After a few years, I worked in central supply and later I also worked as the staffing coordinator. I have also worked as a restorative aide and in central supply. From there I became the activities director for the facility, and I have enjoyed every day of making our residents smile. It makes my heart happy to see the residents happy and enjoying themselves through the years at all of our special events and activities.

I have been the Director of Rehabilitation at Carrollton Nursing and Rehabilitation center for over five years. I have been a Speech-Language Pathologist for six years. I am a graduate of the University of West Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders, with a minor in business administration, and a master’s degree in communication sciences and disorders. I am certified and trained to utilize VitalStim Plus to treat swallowing disorders. I actively mentor clinical fellows for speech-language pathology and provide training/supervision of speech-language pathology students from universities across the state.

I am passionate about working with the geriatric population because my priority is to ensure an exceptional quality of life is maintained during my patients’ stay with us at Carrollton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. I enjoy being able to care for and provide a loving environment for our residents during their stay with us.

I am fortunate to be the handler for our facility therapy dog, Maizey. Maizey is a Goldendoodle that we have had for over a year and has grown to be a part of my work and home family.

After being involved with sports most of my life, I changed pace and embraced a career in Environmental Services in 2014. Like sports, I like the fast pace challenges and the need to adapt to an ever-changing environment.

My wife and I are dedicated to serving others in healthcare and our children are along for the ride with servants’ hearts.

I have 10 years of service at Carrollton Nursing & Rehab. Nine of these as a Payroll Coordinator. I really enjoy working with numbers. My favorite part of clinicals was the long-term care rotation. With that said, when I had the opportunity to work at a nursing center I accepted it to be able to work in LTC in some way.
