Zenobia Rush, Guest Services

Zenobia is one of our Guest Service Workers and has been at the Oaks for over 17 years.  Although she started in Dietary, she was quickly hired into her current position.  Her main responsibilities include cleaning and driving.

Zenobia’s favorite aspect of her job is talking to the residents and sharing a laugh.

Zenobia and her husband Johnny have been married for 38 years and have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.

In her spare time, Zenobia and her husband love to go fishing and their favorite spot is Black Lake, near Alexandria Bay.  She also enjoys creating her own patterns for crocheting afghans.  When the weather is nice, she loves to garden outside.

Thank you, Zenobia, for all your hard work!

Resident Karen K.:
“A wonderful place. Very nice apartments, some with a den with a super large closet I call my ”basement” for extra clothes, shoes, books, et.al. Breakfast, and dinner are served from a marvelous kitchen filled with choices of 3-4 mains, veggies, salads & dessert (super chocolate chip cookies plus more)! Portions are just the right size.

Many exercise and memory programs daily, and films in the evening. No extra charges. Staff is all very well educated in care-taking of the elderly who want to be as active as possible. They are truly caring people.

The staff, from the Director to the maintenance team, listen to the residents and respond to their needs and requests with patience and skill.”

Unit 231 is an affordable, two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offering plenty of light and the flexibility to make this space your own.  Call Lisa Merrill at 315.449.3309, ext. 103 for pricing and a private tour.
