A director of senior living sales and marketing for 11 years, Hope finds her work with older adults to be “incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable.” She loves how she can be a trusted resource for them — guiding people into their best next chapter of life is her passion — and considers herself fortunate to be among them daily as a part of their lives. She’s spent time in all levels of senior living, beginning in skilled nursing communities and then moving into independent senior living, assisted living and memory support. Born in California, she grew up in Florida, Michigan and Utah. Today, she’s considered authentic, knowledgeable and compassionate. And she finds inspiration in her two daughters and the entire younger generation of kind and thoughtful humans.
Savannah’s passion for senior living blossomed when she shadowed her mother who was a Sales Director for a community in California. She interned at that community and after just a few months was offered a position at a memory support community nearby. It was there that she felt a calling to know more about dementia support and became a Dementia Support Specialist. She then returned to Utah, the place of her birth, to work in Cottonwood Heights as a Sales Director at another community. Soon she found her way to The Ridge Foothill which she states is the community she dreamed of working for. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and her Border Collie. One of her hobbies is flipping furniture–her creativity comes through by creating something new and modern from vintage furniture.
Nichole’s entire career has been in senior living long-term care. As an RN, she’s often focused on geriatrics wound prevention and care. Most recently, she’s worked in home health and hospice, making residents’ wishes and care needs her top priority. Nichole’s history includes notable achievements in helping develop and train staff — and creating respected, cohesive teams. Determined and always learning, Nichole was raised in West Jordan and now lives in Stockton. She spends every free moment outdoors or traveling with her three children — and taking care of their ten chickens, three horses and two goats. For Nichole, family time is priceless.
Born on a Pennsylvania pheasant farm, she found her passion for senior living and dementia communities when her Aunt Sandy passed a year after a dementia diagnosis. Moved by what she saw, Nicole became a PCA (Personal Care Aide) and began her LPN studies. She was soon named Resident Services Coordinator at Pennsylvania’s dementia-focused Woodside Place, a Presbyterian SeniorCare Network community. She moved to Florida and The Cabana at Jensen Dunes to become their Director of Health and Wellness, overseeing assisted living and memory support and steadily improving team involvement and community dynamics. She believes her best skills lie in communication, organization and strategic thinking, and says her colleagues are likely to tell you she’s passionate and thorough. She’s keen on billiards, hiking, concerts and laughing with Winnie, her mini-Dachshund, and Houston, her fiancé.

Sal honed her passion for senior living at an early age as she lived with her grandmother who cared for other elderly family members.
