Heroes Work Here

Wes Grannes, Residential Supervisor

A door opening can be a simple moment or it can be a welcome into possibility.

Cheyenne Village Residential Supervisor Wes Grannes is pictured here doing just that: opening doors in every sense of the word. For four years at Cheyenne Village, he has helped shape life at Pearl House; first as a Direct Support Professional, and now as a Residential Supervisor supporting the daily rhythm, connections, and community experiences of the individuals who call it home.

With nearly 35 years of experience across healthcare, social services, and social justice work, Wes brings a steady presence shaped by many chapters, including long-term care, healthcare systems, and nonprofit work supporting survivors of trafficking and exploitation as they rebuild safety and direction.

What remains constant is his belief in people’s ability to shape their own lives—and his commitment to environments where choice, identity, and belonging are not just supported, but centered.

Here, a door isn’t just a door. It’s an invitation.

Cynthia Hampton, Host Home Coordinator

I started working at Cheyenne Village in 1998. I currently work as a Host Home Coordinator. 

A Host Home Provider is an individual or family who wants to make a difference in the life of an adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) while having the satisfaction of owning their own business. Host Home Providers welcome a person with I/DD into their home to become part of their family and provide support and companionship they need to thrive.

What I like best about my job is interacting with the Host Home Providers and being able to be a part of overseeing the care and knowing that the Person Served is actually being a part of a loving home!

Karen Scannell, Director of Community Services

“What I like about working for Cheyenne Village is working directly with the clients and their families.  I have the privilege of getting to know the individuals we serve on a personal level and it’s so gratifying.“

Chantel Kamlan, Service Coordinator Supervisor

“I like working for Cheyenne Village because the energy I put in is returned to me tenfold from the clients.  Nearly everything I do is completed with the knowledge that it can (and usually does) directly affect the individuals we serve. 

The quality of service, the willingness to go the extra mile and think outside of the box are all reasons why I work here.”
