Council Officers
“Making the decision to move into a senior community is a difficult one. My husband and I were thrilled to find and join the Southgate family where everyone is our friend. I am honored to be a member of the Resident Council and hope that I can help Southgate continue to be a wonderful place for seniors to live as well as assist in making positive changes and/or additions to services offered when opportunities arise.”
“The Resident Council is an important vehicle to ensure that the residents and the management of Southgate are working together to make the facility, the meals, the entertainment, the activities and the lifestyle at Southgate to be the very best it can be for the residents of Southgate. I am happy to lend my expertise, experience and time to further this mutual collaboration.”
“I have worked at the state level on issues affecting residents of Continuing Care Retirement Communities. At Southgate, I began as a resident in Assisted Living and then transitioned to Independent Living. I served a term on the Southgate Residents’ Council a few years ago. I know that the Council can be an effective liaison between residents and management. I welcome this new opportunity to bring topics of common interest to the table.”
“Being very proud to call Southgate home, serving as a member of the Residents’ Council, provides me the opportunity to offer my time and past experience to help Southgate be the best it can be. The collaboration between residents and management enhances the lifestyle of everyone.”
“I have been in leadership roles during my time in the military and in the world of academic medicine. I hope to use that store of knowledge to further the goal of enhancing the top-notch retirement experience and environment that is here at Southgate.”
