Day 7- Employee of the Year (2026)
We are very pleased to announce our 2026 Employee of the Year as Shown McKinnley. Shown was nominated for Employee of the Month in September, her nomination read:
Originally from Bringhurst, Indiana, Shown has been married to her husband, Brian, for 16 wonderful years. Together, they share a beautiful family of 5 wonderful children and three cherished grandchildren who bring endless joy to her life.
In her spare time, Shown loves spending time with her family and traveling alongside her husband. She describes the best day of her life as the moment she decided to change her career path and become a CNA, a decision that truly transformed her life.
When asked about her best advice, Shown shared these inspiring words:
“Be kind—it doesn’t cost anything. Treat people the way you want to be treated and never give up.”
She takes great pride in having the courage to start a new career later in life, saying,
“You’re never too old to start over.”
When asked why she chose Wesley Manor, Shown said,
“Wesley Manor gave me the chance to get into the field I was always too scared to try. I absolutely love what I do.”
Shown’s passion, kindness, and dedication make her an invaluable part of our Wesley Manor family.
Congratulations Shown. Thank you for your hard work and kindness.
