Park Creek Independent Living

I have been Executive Director of Park Creek Independent Living for a year now (was their Outreach Director prior) and I must say it is my favorite position EVER! Every day I get the opportunity to work with a team of passionate professionals who are fully committed to the service and happiness of our residents. I just had a long conversation with a new resident yesterday, Carr P., who reinforced my committment when he told me just how thrilled he and his wife, Lee, were to be in our community. He stated that he was so wonderfully surprised to realize the atmosphere in our building was nothing like he expected - he thought he was moving into 'an apartment building with great amenities' (which he did actually), but what he then very happily stated that instead he '...has found the brotherhood and friendships here that (he) remembers from his college fraternity days...'! I couldn't agree more! First, we LOVE a great party at Park Creek! We have such an active daily calendar it's crazy! In fact, we've been told there is almost too many choices of things to do! Second, while we don't 'haze' our new residents :), we certainly do bring them into the fold very quickly- utilizing a very strong and committed resident-led 'Welcome-Buddy' system, which involves our team matching new residents with current residents who have similar likes to show them around and invite them to their favorite activities!And finally, we EAT ALOT of GREAT FOOD! Our professionally trained Chef is continually providing new and exciting options daily in our fine dining restaurant, The Pecan Room, as well as out bistro, Cafe Frais. So there it is - my reason for getting up every day! I LOVE MY JOB and invite you all to come in and share this great environment with me- if only for some lunch! Thanks to all my team for your fantastic support and commitment every single day!!! Kathie Snyder, Executive Director, Park Creek Independent Living
