Our Team


Jamie Ratzke
Working with and caring for the senior population has been a passion of mine since I obtained my C.N.A. certification as a teenager. Northridge has given me the opportunity to continue to do what I love every day. In my time away from work I enjoy relaxing and spending time with my husband, children, and extended family.


Becca Wagner
I enjoy working at Northridge because of our wonderful residents and great team of employees. Getting to learn something new and laugh every day with some of the residents is very rewarding. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling to my home state of Illinois to visit family and floating down the river come summertime.


Kris Crawford
I would say a couple reasons that stand out to me working here at Northridge are: I have the opportunity to work with some very skilled people who are great teammates as well and the interaction and relationships that are built with our tenants, residents and their families. I live in Story City, love being a Grandma and GO CYCLONES!


Lindsey Samson
I am continually grateful to work for Northridge Village and to be surrounded by the people I am. Our wonderful residents and friendly staff are what truly make our community the best. It is a privilege to get the opportunity to work with prospective residents and their families as they plan for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy being with family, shopping for antiques and spending time with friends.


Greg Stassen
I am originally from Minnesota. I moved to Ames with my Wife, Tara, our son, Bryce and daughter Breanna. We moved to Ames in 2005 after falling in love with the Cyclones. Go Cyclones! When I’m not at work, I enjoy fishing, especially ice fishing, playing golf and camping. I am looking forward to working here at Northridge Village and getting to know the residents!


Sherry Bendickson
I moved from Mason City to Ames in 1980. I have two daughters Natasha, Jessica and two granddaughters Ashlyn and Ayvarie. In my spare time, I love being with my grandbabies. What I love most about working at Northridge is the warm friendly feeling that comes from both residents and staff. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Northridge.


Lisa Lowe
I enjoy working at Northridge Village because making a positive impact on people’s daily lives means the world to me. Seeing the residents smiling and hearing the laughter in their voice makes it all worth it. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and watching the cyclones.


Danyell Hall
Hi! My name is Danyell Hall. I am the hair stylist here at Northridge Village Salon. I’ve been in the industry for almost 17 years. Each day with the residents is rewarding, and I’m always eager to see them smiling each and every day. I have two daughters and two step-sons. My husband and I reside in Ames. We enjoy trips to Las Vegas and hanging out with family and friends. We also love attending Iowa State football games and cheering on the Cyclones!


Angie Anderson
I enjoy working at Northridge Village because each and every staff member genuinely shares the desire to care for the elderly as I do myself. I have shared the same compassion since I became a C.N.A. in 2005. Each day is a new adventure and I love that. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 little boys attending their sporting events, riding 4-wheelers and going dirt track racing.


Pam Tolsdorf
I enjoy working at Northridge Village because knowing that I am making a difference every day in the lives of the residents, and their family members gives me a great sense of accomplishment! I live in Ogden; and, I’m extremely blessed to be a new Grandma! In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, fur babies, and friends.
