BJ Shook

DIrector of Nursing

BJ Shook has been a nurse practitioner since 1998, receiving her master's degree from the University of Akron. Prior to this, she worked as a nurse in the hospital setting and in long term care. Hobbies include reading, biking, pickleball and travel.

“I enjoy working with senior adults," said BJ, who is a certified nurse practitioner. "It is challenging to meet their physical and emotional needs while protecting their sense of independence and individuality. I believe that the staff here at Maple Terrace work hard to provide “person centered” care. Residents are evaluated on admission to determine specific functional care needs but are monitored to determine preferences and what works best for them as an individual.”
