We would like to introduce ourselves to you and your families, there are a lot of new faces and hopefully you and your loved one will feel at home very quickly.
Just a few faces…
Alan Wyngarden is the owner of the homes and our visionary to help create such fabulous homes for our residents from 2010 – present.
Alan has two boys and his wife. Alan loves to be outdoors, travel and explore. Skiing, hiking, gardening, and participating in walking marathons with his wife are some of his passions.
With secure units, dietitian-created meals, frequent activities, and care services specific to each resident, we invite you to feel at home at Applewood Our House.
Malou van Eijk has been with Applewood Our House from day one and instrumental in providing support and expertise across various aspects of Applewood Our House’s operations. From building new homes, marketing and family communication to financials and implementing new technology, Malou’s contributions have likely been valuable in enhancing the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.
On a personal note, Malou is a family-oriented individual with two sons. One of her sons is married to Anna, and they have a son named Henry. It’s evident that family is important to Malou, and she enjoys spending time with her loved ones, including their two dogs.
Outside of work and family, Malou and her family have a shared passion for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and engaging in court sports. They also enjoy traveling and exploring new experiences together, indicating a spirit of adventure and a desire to create lasting memories.
Lisa Spurlock has been happily married for 28 years, raising three wonderful children together alongside five dogs and a cat.
Originally from Breckenridge, Colorado, Lisa moved to Tennessee when she was 15 and has lived there ever since. Her love for the outdoors, reading, and connecting with new people has always been a driving force in her life.
Lisa’s career in senior living began 14 years ago, with key roles at Brookdale and Aviva as both Business Office Director and Executive Director.
By the end of her first month in senior living, she knew she had found her calling, and her passion for working with seniors has only deepened over the years.
Now, she is excited to embark on the next chapter, returning to her roots in Colorado, ready to continue making a meaningful impact in her field.
Bridget Niemczura (in the center with her four kids) helps us as the Bookkeeper and sends out the invoices monthly by the 22nd of the previous month for payment for the following month.
Bridget has helped Applewood Our House since the first remodel and opening in 2010. Her favorite foods are shredded beef and beef burritos smothered in green chili, but not just any chili , and of course, pizza!
Bridget has four college and high school aged kids and says “Sadly, I don’t have time for hobbies. All I do is work, work, work, work,work (insert Rihanna song here). When I did have time in my previous life, I sang in a band, liked to read and sew and watch movies.”
