Amy is the concierge at the senior living community.
The first person one sees when they enter Encore at Wilmington is a friendly one…also, one who is caring, multi-talented, and quintilingual (speaks five languages).
Amarech Ghebrehiwot (Amy Ghebre) is the concierge at the senior living community in Wilmington. The self-professed helpful, hardworking, considerate team member is not only welcoming; she’s also a legend, having worked at Shipley for more than 20 years.
Amy said that along with her concierge skills, she is a former model, certified as a massage therapist and fashion personal shopper, a jewelry maker, fashion designer and a knitter/crocheter. “In addition to English, I also speak a few foreign languages. I am fluent in two East African languages: Tigrigna and Amharic, as well as in Italian, and I also speak some Spanish,” she said.
Stating that she loves her job at Encore at Wilmington retirement community, Amy explained, “I’m a people-person so I like meeting people. I like working in senior living best because I get to know my residents, who make me feel like their family.”
“Amy is a wonderful presence at Encore at Wilmington,” said Tim Ballas, executive director. “She is kind, friendly, caring and is a great representative of the rest of our outstanding team. She helps set the tone for the community, and we are fortunate she’s been dedicated to Encore at Wilmington for so long!”
