Brad & Trina Jewett
Owners Brad and Trina Jewett have owned and operated Culver Meadows Senior Living for more than 30 years. Trina grew up with her parents owning an Adult Foster Care Home during her childhood downstate and then moved up North to continue the tradition. After being around the environment her entire life she knew what she wanted to do. When marrying Brad he followed in her path. Their dream was to have a home where people could bring their loved ones knowing that they are safe and taken care of. With the dream to one day pass the home down to their own children. With their dream becoming a reality, their son Connor has now joined their home away from home. Still hoping that one day their daughter Kara will be integrated as well!
Jamie Dobrowolski
Jamie joined the Culver Meadows Senior Living family in the fall of 2019 with over 20 years of experience working with persons with Dementia. She knew from an early age, because she was so comfortable visiting her great grandparents with Alzheimer's, that it was going to be her future. After getting her bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation with minors in Gerontology and Psychology, in 1998 from Lake Superior State University, she's gained experience working in Skilled Nursing Facilities, Hospice, inpatient psych, and community based senior programs, until finding a place here at Culver Meadows as Administrator. Jamie moved to the area with her husband Chris, and their two daughters, Jaelyn and Alaina, in 2012, and feels right at home in Traverse City and at Culver Meadows Senior Living. Her vast experience gives her the care and compassion needed to make our residents, and their loved ones feel like they are home.
