Get to Know Briana McDaniel
If you know Briana McDaniel, you probably know the focused, get-it-done side of her. But there’s a lot more behind the role she holds today at Aliceville Manor Nursing Home.
Briana currently serves in Risk Management and as Assistant Administrator and has spent a combined eight years as part of the Aliceville Manor team. She has been a nurse for 13 years, beginning her career in the ICU before becoming a Certified Wound Specialist and spending six years in wound care.
Over the years, Briana has served Aliceville Manor in several different capacities, including Staff Development and Assistant Director of Nursing, before moving into risk management and administration. That journey has given her a unique perspective—she understands the clinical side of caring for residents, the challenges employees face every day, and the behind-the-scenes work required to keep a nursing facility safe, compliant, and moving forward.
But when Briana talks about why she loves long-term care, she doesn’t hesitate:
“The relationships!!!!”
For her, that’s what makes this work different. Residents become family. You learn their stories, personalities and preferences. You meet their families. And over time, caring for someone becomes much more personal than simply completing the tasks of the day.
That is also why one principle guides the way Briana approaches her work: Treat people the way you would want your own family to be treated.
Whether she’s working with a resident, listening to a family member, supporting an employee, investigating a concern, or solving a problem behind the scenes, Briana wants people to know she is approachable, fair and dependable. She may not always have the answer immediately, but she believes strongly in listening, finding the answer and following through.
Outside of work, Briana and her husband stay busy raising their two children. Their favorite family moments don’t have to be complicated—they enjoy fishing, going to the beach, swimming, and simply spending time together.
And if you only know Briana’s serious work side, you’re missing part of the story. She loves to laugh and has a pretty big sense of humor—something those who work closely with her already know well.
Her favorite Bible verse, Isaiah 41:10, is a reminder she carries with her:
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God…”
As Briana continues growing in leadership, she wants residents to receive excellent care, families to feel confident about the people caring for their loved ones, and employees to know they are supported and appreciated.
And when she thinks about the impact she ultimately wants to make at Aliceville Manor, Briana puts it simply:
“I want to leave things better than I found them.”
We hope you enjoyed getting to know a little more about Briana McDaniel—not just what she does at Aliceville Manor, but the heart and experiences she brings to the people we serve.
