Meet the Team

It takes a lot of dedicated people to keep Capital Manor the happy, thriving place it is. Fortunately, we have these people! Residents and staff quickly come to see each other as family – which is why so many of our staff have been working here for more than 10, 20 and 30 years.

Here is some background on our leadership team.

Providing a quality life for seniors is David’s passion. He’s been a leader in the senior living industry for more than 20 years, and is licensed as a Nursing Home Administrator and certified as an ALF/RCF Administrator. He loves Oregon’s lifestyle, and when not at Capital Manor, you can find him hiking, biking, cooking healthy gourmet food and studying history.

Nancy Dunton, Ph.D., R.D., Director of Dining & Culinary Services
Nancy has combined her training as a dietician, her Ph.D. in nutrition and food management, and her experience as a cook to make sure that residents get nutritious and delicious food. She loves gardening, biking, dogs and researching recipes.

Cleve Knabe, Director of Facility Services
Growing up, Cleve wanted to become a farmer. We’re very glad he didn’t, because we love what he does for Capital Manor. He makes sure that everything around here works well and runs smoothly. He and his wife have hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon four times.

Deirdre Miller, Director of Financial Services
