We are shining our spotlight onto Amy Royse, our dedicated Activity Director, for being our March Employee of the Month! Amy was honored to be nominated by fellow coworkers and residents for Employee of the Month. Described as compassionate, helpful, always smiling, always working, a problem solver, and a teacher. Amy ensures residents are treated with respect and dignity. She views being an Activity Director as the best, cherishing the privilege of putting residents first and contributing to their well-being on a daily basis.



Amy brings over two decades of professional experience and a deep commitment to enhancing residents' lives. Married for 22 years with two sons, Amy's journey in healthcare began at the age of 17 when she pursued the Diversified Health Program at Live Oaks. This led her to attain certifications in Diversified Health and Professionalism in Health Care, ultimately achieving the status of a Certified Nurse Aide.

A distinguished graduate with honors from Batavia High School and Live Oaks in 1995, Amy commenced her healthcare career as a caregiver at Clermont Mercy Hospital. Transitioning to long-term care, she served as a Certified Nurse Aide and engaged in extensive agency work. In May 2009, Amy embarked on a new chapter with employment at Venetian Gardens.

Drawing from her rich experience as a Certified Nurse Aide, Amy developed a profound interest in becoming an Activity Aide at Venetian Gardens. Recognizing the pivotal role of a resident-centered Activity Program Director, she pursued the necessary certification, and with diligence, she assumed the role.
