Our Staff

Evelyn Shnier, R.N, is the founder of Sterling Assisted Living. As a registered nurse who is on-site full time, she oversees the medical conditions of each and every resident. She has a close working relationship with local physicians and hospitals and has acquired a reputation in the medical community as a highly skilled and caring professional.

Menachem Taragin, LCSW-C, is our staff social worker. He deals with the many issues affecting residents, their families, and the assisted living environment. He is also the business office manager and coordinates the full-time staffing of our homes.

Shifra Lansky, our activity coordinator, spends her time connecting with and caring for our residents. Her gift of bonding with others results in smiles, laughter, and happy tears, even from those residents with impaired communication skills. Her programs include arts and crafts, music therapy, mind-strengthening exercises, and reminiscence therapy.

Malka Zweig, our special events coordinator, oversees our volunteer programs and trips and outings. In addition to supervising our weekly "Open Mike at Sterling Hospitality", and bringing groups from the local schools to visit, Mrs. Zweig also arranges trips to scenic locations, local restaurants, and community events.
