2026 Manager of the Year

Emma Miano
Charles Major Manor, Shelbyville, Indiana

This August will mark Emma’s 13th year at Charles Major Manor. A lifelong Shelby County resident, Emma, has built lasting relationships with local organizations and community members who have become deeply involved in supporting Charles Major Manor. She is dedicated to creating meaningful connections with residents, fostering a family-like atmosphere where residents feel seen and supported through life’s ups and downs.

Emma also serves the broader senior community through her involvement with the Shelby County Active Aging Coalition (SCAAC). She participates in events and fundraisers throughout the year, including the annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Walk, helping raise awareness and support for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Emma has been married for 11 years and is the proud mother of two children, ages 10 and 14, both of whom residents and colleagues have had the pleasure of watching grow up over the years.
