Ashley Giltner - Hickory Ridge Adminitrator

"Hi, I am Ashley Giltner and I am the Executive Director at Hickory Ridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. I joined this team in August 2020 and since then I have absolutely fallen in love with the residents and staff. I have my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from The University of Akron. I started my career in 2013 at a nursing home in the Akron area as a social worker and over the next seven years, I held a variety of positions in different departments including social work, Activities Director, HR Manager, and Facility Administrator. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children, and three dogs."

We are excited about having Ashley as head of our team here a Hickory Ridge and look forward to a great working relationship.
