Michelle Risley

Director of Operations Excellence/Human Resources

I grew up on the east coast and have traveled throughout the United States and currently reside in Kitsap County.  I am relatively new to the Pacific Northwest and love the beauty of it. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and am always up for a new adventure. I feel blessed to be part of a team that helps seniors stay in the home and continue to live a good quality of life and still be as independent as they are able.

I bring to Comfort Keepers an extensive background in recruiting, performance management, career development, employee relations and compliance.  My goal is to assure that Comfort Keepers employs the best individuals to care for our clients and to help them live the best quality of life possible in the comfort of thier own home.

Jennie Spletstoeser-Nelson

Administration and office assistant

As Administrative/ Office Coordinator, I am the first person you see when you come into the office.

I reside in Central Kitsap with my husband in the home I raised my children in.  I am a proud grandmother to 5 grandchildren, 3 grand pups and 1 grand kitty.  In my spare time I enjoy doing family activities such as camping, hiking and spending time by the lake, or just enjoying friends and loved ones.

I have 25+ years in Early Childhood Education and Customer Service. I bring to Comfort Keepers strong organization skills, self-management, and ability to work well with other team members.

I feel blessed to be a part of Comfort Keepers and to have a small part in helping clients stay in their own home, while maintaining a good quality of life for as long as they are able to.

Brandy Bray

Care Coordinator

I currently live in Kitsap county with my husband and daughter.  We have lived in the area for about ten years and enjoy everything the northwest has to offer 

I have worked in the Home Care field for over ten years. I started out as a caregiver and moved up to office staff from there. Working in this field has given me such an appreciation for quality care and how it can enrich people’s lives.  I am very excited to join the Comfort Keepers team. 

Gretchen

Homecare Services Coordinator

I grew up a military child and travelled a bit. I married a military man and had three handsome boys and after traveling with the Navy we ended up in Kitsap County. I have lived in the PNW for over 20 years now. I love the beautiful scenery we have and the options for outdoor activities. 

I have worked with the senior and disabled community off and on for 22 years. I have a passion for the work that I do. I started my career as a care giver in a facility, moving up to an activity director at a retirement/assisted living community, to an in-home care team scheduler, to a care coordinator both with Comfort Keepers. I then moved to a low-income independent community as a Tenant Service Coordinator where I served for 4.5 years. Recently I was given the opportunity to come back to Comfort Keepers as their Homecare Services Coordinator and I am thrilled to be back.  

I unfortunately grew up without grandparents. I believe that has given me the heart to do the work I do and to treat your loved one as my own. Your family will always be treated with love and respect. We here at Comfort Keepers look forward to providing exceptional services to the one in need.
