Brenda Schrupp, LSW, LNHA, HSE

Campus Administrator

Brenda joined Walker Methodist in 2013. Prior to working at Westwood Ridge, Brenda worked as a Social Worker, Director of Social Services, Care Center Administrator, and a Regional Administrator at two different nursing homes. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, studied Long-Term Care Administration at the U of M – Carlson School of Management, and received a Master’s in Organizational Leadership at St. Catherine University. Brenda is licensed as a Social Worker, Nursing Home Administrator, and is qualified as a Health Services Executive.

She was attracted to Walker Methodist because she felt her values aligned nicely with ours and was excited for the opportunity to serve residents in a continuum of care. Brenda feels truly blessed to be able to serve the residents, families, and team at Westwood Ridge. The team inspire her regularly with the care and compassion they show to those we serve.

On a daily basis, Brenda is responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations at Westwood Ridge. She partners with all of the departments to ensure our residents get the quality care they deserve. Her decision to work in healthcare was inspired by her grandmother who passed away from Alzheimer’s. Some of her favorite memories are of spending time with her, and the love and respect she had for her reinforced her decision to work for a senior living community.

When she’s not at work, Brenda enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to the movies, reading, and in the fall she enjoys Sunday Funday. Go Vikings!

Brenda is passionate about fundraising and has led the team in raising over $50,000 for the Walker Methodist Foundation. At the end of the day, she would like to be remembered for being hard-working, honest, and for having a good sense of humor. Although she works hard, she tries not to take herself too seriously. Life’s too short to be anything but happy.
