Leadership
“When I was 17, my grandmother was admitted to hospice. Since then, it’s been my calling to ensure that residents receive the same level of compassionate care that my grandmother had.”
Michelle Flowers
MBA, LNHA
Administrator
Driven to serve others at a young age, Michelle started her journey in the skilled nursing facility industry while in high school as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where she learned the daily operations from the ground up. From there, while enrolled in an Administrator in Training Program, she successfully completed a Master’s in Business Administration during the Summer of 2016 and became licensed to run skilled nursing facilities in South Carolina in March 2017. Starting her leadership journey at a sister facility in South Carolina in the Summer of 2019, she was then selected to lead the team at Clear Creek in February 2022. Michelle’s daily mantra includes ensuring that residents, their families, and the team that supports them are treated with kindness, caring, dignity and respect and that all stakeholders feel valued and know their voice and feedback are important.
“I love to take care of people— and I am driven each day to help others feel better.”
