Melanie MacNeill
Housekeeping Manager, Life Skills Coach & Certified Yoga Instructor.

Housekeeping is not always a favorite with our residents but Melanie makes it fun.  With her personal energy and pleasant attitude, she is like a magnet to residents and CooperRiis is a shining monument thanks to her housekeeping efforts. Moreover, she has a refined skill and ability to inspire residents in finding an appreciation of the sacred within the ordinary day. Her energy is infectious.

Melanie is a Warren Wilson Graduate and worked previously for the Mental Health Association at Mountain House in Asheville, NC.  She is also a fire dancer, certified yoga instructor and a key player on the CooperRiis Wellness Team.

At lunchtime you may find Melanie on the patio with staff and residents having fun with the hula-hoop rings she has taught us to make and use.
