While her principal duties are admissions and marketing, she has been
instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition for new residents and
assisting current residents with concerns as they arise. Susanna has her BA

over 20 years of experience as a medical social worker as well as 16 years in management positions.
The majority of her work has been in the hospital and skilled nursing home environments. She counts
it a privilege to be able to work with seniors and their families, not just in life
planning, but also in times of unexpected events. Her skills have been put to good
use with those individuals looking for a warm community in which to retire as well
as for those families needing an assisted living for their loved ones.
