The Marketing Department under my direction not only provides the surrounding community with educational opportunities concerning assisted living and other health related issues, but is also responsible for touring potential resident’s and their families while introducing them to current residents and employees throughout their decision making process. “I enjoy showing a potential resident and their family around our large commons area, the upscale dining room, and then to their private apartment. I enjoy being involved in this process and helping them understand, that making the decision to move into assisted living, can lead to new friends, great food, and give them the security of knowing a nurse is always available”.

Putting a smile on their face and just being able to make a difference in their life while they are here is important to me. I was fortunate to have both of my parents live at the assisted livings, where I have been employed. This gave me the appreciation and understanding of what moving your loved one into an assisted living really means.”
