Meet your Carespring Staff!
David Eppers
I joined Carespring in December 2004 as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO). My roll as CFO is to make sure that all of the financial processes in our business work and provide direction for our future. In that way we can continue to serve our residents today and for years to come. It’s truly great to be a part of a team that is so dedicated to providing care for our residents. Additionally our care goes well beyond the norm to ensure that they have a first class living environment. My position isn’t very hands on so I’m grateful to be able to ride the coat tails of a group of wonderful caregivers.
I’m originally from Wisconsin. I attended the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater, where I met my wife Deanna and obtained a degree in accounting. After college, in 1986, I began my career with an accounting firm in Milwaukee. I joined the Long-Term Care industry in 1989 with Extendicare and have been in the industry ever since.
On a personal level, I am committed to my Christian faith and my family. I have two daughters (Stephanie - 16 and Joanna - 12) and a son (Jack - 7). I’ve enjoyed either coaching them in sports or joining Deanna on the sidelines to cheer them on in various sporting activities, concerts, dance competitions, etc. I also play softball for 7 months out of the year, do a little running, and enjoy hunting.
We moved to the Cincinnati area from Milwaukee in 2000 and have really made our home here. I’ve found myself rooting for the Reds over the Brewers, but as much as I am a true Bengals fan, my first love is the Greenbay Packers.
For the future, my plans are to continue to guide Carespring into financial strength so we can unceasingly serve our residents at the highest level while enhancing the life of each individual team member within the Carespring family.

I have been employed with the Carespring corporate office since September 2004. Prior to that time, I had worked with Carespring as a consultant since 1999.
Born and raised in Cincinnati, I live in Clifton with my husband and three children. Gary and I have been married for 21 years (yikes!). Gary has worked at Procter & Gamble for 33 years. Last month we took our oldest, Laura, to the College of Charleston to begin her college career. She has been an excellent student and athlete, and will be attending the Honors College and swimming for C of C. Our son, Eric, is 16 and a new driver - watch out! He is a junior at Roger Bacon High School, also a great student, who loves to play soccer and basketball. Most people think he’s tall at 6’3”, but when he steps on the basketball court, he’s about average height. Matthew…what can I say. He is 11 years old, heading into 6th grade. He, too, loves soccer and basketball, and is very outgoing. If he’s not smiling when you see him, give him about 10 seconds and you’ll surely see a smile.
Spare time. If I could figure out how to get by on 5 hours sleep a night, I might have some. I usually work a reduced work schedule, 3-4 days a week, and spend the remaining time volunteering at school, attending my children’s competitions, and trying to stay in shape myself. I played volleyball at UC and still play a little today. I try to workout regularly so I can keep up with my kids. I also enjoy reading, photography and sewing, and have promised myself to take up quilting at some point, maybe after I clean out my daughter’s room.
In 1999, my job was eliminated and I was forced to decide whether to stay in long-term care or look for something else. Indirectly, I came upon Carespring and have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with everyone here.
The corporate office staff is wonderful, just a great group of people all willing to work together. One of my goals over the next few years is to get to know more of the staff at the facilities and work with them toward our common goal, excellent care for our residents and improved communication with their families. I will strive to work with the managers to provide information and support to help them succeed. I look forward to working at Carespring for the long term. |
What I’m Thankful For
