A Heart for Service, A Gift to Our Team
This month, we are proud to shine the spotlight on Alex Edris, the dedicated administrator at Baptist Homes of Shelbina. Since joining our team in May 2024, Alex has quickly become a cornerstone of the community, building meaningful relationships with both residents and staff.
Whether she’s in her office or walking through the halls, Alex is known for her warm smile and willingness to lend a hand. Her servant heart, steady leadership, and daily encouragement make her the backbone of our building. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels seen, heard, and cared for.
Alex brings with her over seven years of experience as a licensed administrator. Her journey into senior care began in a deeply personal way, when she helped place her grandmother into an assisted living community. That moment sparked a calling in her heart: to advocate for the elderly, lead with compassion, and provide care that upholds the dignity of every resident.
Alex completed her internship at Salt River Community Care from 2012–2014 and has been faithfully serving seniors ever since. Her leadership is grounded in empathy, accountability, and a deep love for those she serves.
Alex lives in Monroe City with her husband of 12 years, Brock Edris, and their three children: Rylan, Cruz, and Aubrie. Outside of work, she enjoys soaking up the sunshine, swimming in the family pool, and making memories with her loved ones.
We’re grateful for Alex and her commitment to the mission of Baptist Homes. She truly embodies what it means to lead with heart.
