Meet Rena
Exectuive 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 a 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:
How long have you worked in the retirement industry?
16yrs
What do you like best about your job?
The gratification of seeing senior’s happy, enjoying life and the overall success of the property.
What do you like to do in your free time and why?
Spend time with my daughter and good friends; we love spending time near the water because it is so relaxing and a lot of fun.
If you could meet one person, past or present, who would it be and why?
Oprah, she defines what can be accomplished by being strong and persistent.
What’s your favorite movie and why?
Shawshank Redemption, because it proves perseverance prevails!
What’s your favorite dish or dessert and why?
Pretty much any type of fresh seafood. Why? Because it’s good!
In what ways do your residents inspire you?
I love strong, positive individuals who have taken their life experiences and mentored people like me.
Do you have any memorable experiences with a particular resident you would like to share?
There are so many, but one in particular is the story of Helen, who had just lost her husband and was very down and withdrawn from family and life. Her daughter brought her into my community, but was very worried she would not adapt very well. A week later her daughter called in a panic and said she was on her way because something must have happened to her mother because she was not answering the phone! She approached the lobby and saw that there was a party going on with wonderful music. As she looked around she spotted her mother in the middle of the room clapping to the music with a great big smile on her face. Not only was it a great feeling that we were able to get Helen involved, but the relief and the peace of mind on her daughters face reminded all of us why we love this business.
How do you honor your residents at your community?
With Respect and Dignity.
Tell us about a resident whose life changed for the better once they moved to your community.
I like to tell the one about a couple who had farmed all their lives and finally their kids convinced them to move into the city into a beautiful retirement community. One day the gentleman was found crying. he said: "I never knew life could be like this and my wife played bingo for the first time ever and won $10! We had to work hours on the farm to make that. Now I believe the saying 'I have died and gone to Heaven.'"
In what ways do your employees inspire you?
When you observe those who really cares and respect residents, and come to work with a smile!
How do you create a family-like atmosphere at your community?
We have fun & participate.
