Executive Team

Our Executive Team is driven by our Purpose: to build communities where every person can experience wellbeing and happiness.

We know that caring requires love, and lots of it. We know that it takes creativity to find joy. We are committed to helping all experience wellbeing and happiness by providing the best care for veterans, seniors, adults with disabilities, and clients, with the best staff and volunteers.

We operate our programs and services in an effective and efficient manner, and are continually reinventing what is possible to ensure all live as fully as they can. We strive to ensure every decision is based on the highest ethical standards, and is consistent with our Purpose.

We believe that the world is worth changing for each and every person, and in making a difference for others, we discover that our own worlds have changed for the better.
