Olivia Stambaugh
Columbia Cottage Hanover Resident Services Director
Olivia Stambaugh joined the Columbia Cottage Hanover family in 2022 as a Homemaker. From the start, her caring nature and dedication to helping others stood out. Always eager to learn and grow, Olivia transitioned into the MedTech role in 2023 after completing her training — taking another big step in her healthcare journey.
Her passion for nursing inspired her to go even further. Olivia went back to school to earn her LPN license and graduated in December 2024. Shortly after, she accepted the RWD/Nursing position at Columbia Cottage, where she continued to make a difference in residents’ lives every day.
In October 2025, Olivia stepped into her newest role as Resident Services Director at Columbia Cottage Hanover. She’s excited to take on new challenges, support her team, and continue providing compassionate care to all the residents she serves.
When Olivia isn’t at work, you’ll most likely find her outdoors — fishing, riding four-wheelers, or spending quality time with her family and friends. Her love for adventure and close-knit connections shines through in everything she does, both at work and beyond.
Devon Ban
Devon joined Columbia Cottage in 2025, but has been happily serving seniors and their families in the greater Harrisburg area since January, 2021. Before this time however, she was working with a different group of seniors and their families: those in high school seeking enrollment in college as an admissions counselor. This unique professional experience has made her keenly empathetic to those making major life decisions and she seeks every opportunity to be a resource to families navigating the senior living space. Proudly holding degrees from Penn State University and a Master’s degree in Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary, Devon is passionate about learning and takes time to educate her clients, create personalized experiences for understanding and makes sure they feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves.
