Leadership
“I deeply cherish the bonds I form daily with our residents and our team, witnessing the incredible uplifting power of the human spirit. It is a privilege to work in a field that provides exceptional care and support to those in need, alongside a dedicated and compassionate team.”
Ashley Neenan

Administrator
Ashley is a dedicated Administrator with a strong background in healthcare. Graduating from Ohio State University with a degree in communications and marketing, Ashley’s passion for health led her to work in the field and eventually pursue a Master of Public Health degree at East Carolina University.

Having completed her Administrator-in-Training (AIT) training at Harnett Woods, Ashley’s career has taken her to oversee multiple buildings in North Carolina and Ohio. However, she considers herself fortunate to have returned to Harnett Woods as an Administrator, where she has been making a positive impact ever since.

Ashley’s unwavering commitment to healthcare administration and her genuine appreciation for the residents she serves make her an invaluable asset in providing exceptional care and fostering a compassionate environment.
