Known for his wit and positive attitude, Dan joined Grand Haven Retirement Community with one
goal in mind…."To take care of the residents as I want someone to take care of me someday."
As an EMS professional and firefighter who is a familiar face in his local community grade school classrooms to teach the kids about fire prevention, Dan also is a favorite among senior citizens in his community. With Dan’s efforts and ability to go the extra mile and make one smile, he has found the job that makes him smile every day that he goes to work. Dan is married with two wonderful children that are very active in many sports.

In Scott County, a certain name comes
readily to mind when thinking of public
service to the community and looking out
for the community and his name is Dan
Collins. For the past 10 years, he has
resided with his family in Eldridge, Iowa,
and served a critical role as an EMT-Basic
for Medic EMS, a volunteer firefighter for
the Eldridge Fire Department, as well as
working the last two years at Grand Haven
Retirement Community. With an
ever-present smile on his face, Dan is
well-known in Scott County as "Happy
Dan," essentially brightening the days of
virtually all he comes into contact with.

Patti Greve, Administrative Assistant
I moved from Bettendorf to the Eldridge area about 23
years ago when I married my husband
Brad. We have four children, Ashley 22, Brandon 20, Travis 18 and Nathan 14. I started at Grand
Haven from the beginning of July 2007 working in the kitchen, then moving to my present position
that September. I enjoy camping, scrapbooking, fishing and spending time with my family. I have
made lots of new friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life. They have taught me me a lot and
I have had lots of fun learning from them. I hope they have had some fun teaching me and I will
always keep them close to my heart.

Jennifer "Hen"Maass, Activities Coordinator
Jennifer joined Grand Haven in February of 2009
but her face has been around since shortly after the
opening in 2007. She was the owner of Bloomers
Flower Shop in Eldridge for 20 years. Every month
she organized a flower arranging workshop for the
residents of Grand Haven which was an activity they
really looked forward to attending. Jennifer still has
a love of flowers but has a greater love of the
residents here at Grand Haven. She was born and
raised in Eldridge and then found and married her
other half (Claus Maass) from DeWitt in 1985. They
still reside in DeWitt where they are raising four
boys---Andrew (age 22), Alex (age 21), William (age
19) and Weston (age 18).
