Meet Our Team
Melanie Mitchell
Director of Nursing
Why do you love working at Noel Manor?
I have enjoyed building my career with PVSHM because it challenges me to think outside the box while caring for the elderly. I have enjoyed getting to know the residents and families, and look forward to continuing to advocate for the elderly population.
What about working with seniors do you enjoy most?
I enjoy listening to the stories they tell, as well as hearing advice they have to give myself and other employees who work here. Often, I’m reminded how lucky we are to be given the opportunities we have now compared to when most of our residents were younger.
A Fun Fact About Yourself
A fun fact about myself is I love to bake anything sweet and be outdoors!
Kelsey Bakken
Community Relations Director
Why do you love working at Noel Manor?
I love working at Noel Manor because of all the amazing residents and staff who are here. They are the sweetest, kindest, and most caring people I have ever met. They make each day of work happy and meaningful.
What about working with seniors do you enjoy most?
The thing I love most about working with seniors is being able to hear all their amazing stories and adventures from the past. Each one of them has something interesting to share and seeing their faces light up when talking about and reliving those stories and memories is truly amazing!
A Fun Fact About Yourself
I played basketball for four years in college.
Lucas Maurer
Culinary Director
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, brought up with the good old fashioned mid-western hard work ethic. I moved to Madison to go to college at UW-Madison (Go Badgers!) to study astronomy and physics and quickly found I had a passion for food service. I worked for Cousins Subs for 15 years as a Multi-Unit Manager and then later as a Manager at Panera Bread for 4 years. As I was looking for a way to serve my community with a food service background, I found that feeding the people who once fed me was a perfect fit. I enjoy playing softball and volleyball in the summers and watching the Packers in the fall/winter. I also like to watch Nature and Space Documentaries so if you ever want to chat about sports or science, you can find me at most lunch services.
Jen Erb
Regional Activities Director
Hi, my name is Jen, and I’m the Regional Activities Coordinator. I grew up in Galesville, a small town north of Lacrosse. I met my husband, Shannon, at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Therapeutic Recreation. Before joining PVSHM, I worked as a Recreation Therapist/ Activity Director for 25 years at Stoughton Hospital’s Geriatric Psychiatry Unit. After my two sons, Elliott and Isaiah, left home to start their next chapter, I decided it was time to start a new chapter of my own, and I took a leap of faith into this exciting new role. I enjoy creating opportunities for residents to live their best lives through leisure and activities. Outside of work, I love to travel and spend time with my friends and family (including my black-and-white cat, Kobe), attend concerts, go to church, exercise (bike, walk, and hike), shop, and play cribbage.

Deb Rayala
Assisted Living Coordinator
Hello! My name is Deb Rayala, and I’m the Assisted Living Coordinator. I have a degree in Social Work and hold my CNA license. I love being part of this vibrant and caring community here at Noel Manor. One of the things I enjoy most about working with seniors is hearing the stories they share and the insights they bring to both my professional and personal life. I learn something new every single day and it’s an honor to have a glimpse into the lives of those who make this ever-changing community so special. When I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me spending time with my wonderful 16-year-old daughter (laughing, singing, and enjoying our favorite “Mother/Daughter” tunes) and my 7-pound teacup chihuahua, Aria. I look forward to continuing to build an environment here at Noel Manor that is warm, inviting, and truly feels like home for everyone.
Kate Menge
Memory Care Coordinator
Hi, my name is Kate! I am the Memory Care Coordinator for the Legacy. I am excited to have the opportunity
to work with such a wise and spirited group, who are full of life experiences. Something I love about the aging population is the ability to learn from them every day and to be a part of their daily lives. When I am not at work, I spend my time outdoors with my two dogs! I love to be out on the trails and enjoying the lakes! I’m
passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment here at The Legacy and helping each resident feel truly at home.
Sean Campbell
Activity Coordinator
Hello! My name is Sean Campbell, and I am the Activity Coordinator here at Noel Manor and The Legacy at Noel Manor. I grew up in Belleville, a small town just south of Verona. I attended the Belleville School District and went on to major in Health Science and Wellness at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. After graduating, I was fortunate to intern at the Verona Senior Center, which ultimately led me here to Noel Manor. During college, I ran Cross Country and Track and discovered my passion for helping people live their best lives. In my role, I hope to make everyone’s day more engaging through interactive exercises, socialization, and connection with others. I’m excited to work with all of the staff &, of course, you – the residents. Thank you for welcoming me and making this such a wonderful place to come to work every day.

My name is Sam Maymon, and I am the Culinary Coordinator. I’m originally from Harvey, Illinois, but I’ve called Madison home for the past 24 years. I graduated from Middleton High School and have been passionate about cooking for as long as I can remember. With over 22 years of experience in the culinary field, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles that have all centered around preparing delicious meals and providing excellent service. A significant part of my journey was spent at Capital Lakes, where I trained hands-on with the Chef for 14 years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my kids and traveling. We love to explore new places and make new memories as a family. I’m grateful to be part of the Noel Manor team and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Staff Testimonials
“I took this job in the hopes it would lead me down a different career path from all my years in restaurants. After working for a few months I knew that I had found the job I would retire from. My management team has been amazing and supportive in ways I’ve never seen from any of my other jobs. Friendly, honestly caring, fun, and very engaging when together. My boss Katie is just the right blend of “higher-up/even keel.” And to have a leader like her that shows such support is a rarity in my role. I know this trickles down from the top level as well, and I’ve had nothing but good encounters with Julie and the other management.
I’m now at my 2 year mark, and love coming to work with my staff, and all the residents that I have made acquaintances with, as well as many friendships. 2 down, 17 to go!
