Meet Elizabeth
Executive Director
The executive director, along with our friendly and professional staff, strives to create positive, stimulating ways for residents to continue living life with meaning and purpose. We are friendly family where we treat residents like real people with real life stories.
Our community is a great story that includes heartwarming chapters and incredibly unique characters all in a wonderful setting. Here is the executive director’s story:
Tell us about a resident with a remarkable life story?
They each have their own story. Because I am an animal lover and have horses of my own, I felt especially close to one resident that lived here who rode in the Olympics. I’ve always wanted to do that and was able to experience it through that resident.
Tell us about a resident whose life changed for the better once they moved to your community.
A resident moved in because her family was concerned about her being lonely, depressed and losing weight. After she moved in she got back to a healthy weight and became very social. Her family came to us regularly to thank us for giving them their mother back.
How long have you worked in the retirement industry?
Four and a half years, coming from 20 years of banking and six years owning my own business.
What do you like best about your job?
The residents really are the best part of the job.
What do you like to do in your free time and why?
When I do have free time, I like to spend time with my family, my animals and catch up on my sleep!
What’s your favorite movie and why?
"Gone with the Wind." How romantic!
What’s your favorite dish or dessert and why?
A good steak dinner on the grill.
In what ways do your residents inspire you?
By their determination and honesty.
In what ways do your employees inspire you?
Their teamwork is awesome and they all have such a caring spirit.
