Hands-On Leadership and Heartfelt Nursing

The leadership team at Family Tree stands out because they do not just manage from behind closed doors—they build real relationships with residents and their families.

• Saige Wheeler, Administrator: Saige’s entire adult life has been dedicated to caring for seniors, having started in the industry at just 16 years old. Over her two and a half years at Family Tree, she earned her way to the top by working directly in resident care as a CNA/MT, Lead CNA/MT, and Resident Care Coordinator before becoming Administrator. That hands-on background means she truly understands what residents need on a daily basis. You will often find her out of her office chatting with residents and staff, constantly looking for ways to make the community a happier place. Outside of work, Saige enjoys the outdoors and sharing good food with her husband, Blake, and their young daughter, Maisie.
• Ty McIntosh, RN: Ty brings a decade of nursing experience across hospitals, home health, and hospice, giving families total confidence in his clinical oversight. As a Weber State University nursing graduate, his main goal is to make residents and their families feel deeply understood, comfortable, and well supported through every stage of care. When he is off duty, Ty lives an active lifestyle on his small farm with his wife and four children, enjoying boating, hunting, fishing, and golfing.

Everyday Connection and Comfort Through Food and Fun

A vibrant senior community relies on staff members who bring warmth, personal connection, and comfort to daily routines.

• Kam Bybee, Activities Director: Kam is the friendly face who greets every new resident with open arms. She believes that small moments—like stopping by for a quiet visit, listening to a resident share their life story, or bringing around homemade treats—make the biggest difference in someone’s day. Outside of planning fun events, Kam loves gardening, photography, golfing, riding her side-by-side, and spending time with her family, her Pomeranian, and her beloved grandson.
• Ella Larson, Culinary Team: Ella knows that food is one of the greatest sources of comfort in a home. With six years of experience cooking in assisted living communities, she focuses on preparing wholesome, homestyle meals that make residents look forward to dining together. She is currently working toward a Culinary Certificate of Completion to keep expanding her skills, and in her personal time, she is a proud dog mom to her Shih Tzu, Izzy.

Having such a grounded, approachable team gives families near Syracuse complete peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are surrounded by people who care for them like family.
