“I have been the Director of Encore and Memory Care Services at The Birches since 2002. I enjoy working with a very professional staff in our memory care area (Encore). We work very hard to provide a comfy and safe home for the residents, and I treasure the relationships I have with each resident and his or her family. Besides overseeing the day-to-day operations in Encore, I enjoy sharing my passions with the residents such as party planning, being creative, gardening, playing games and building friendships. Working with older adults who teach me so much on a daily basis is priceless to me.”
