For Dawn, seeing the look of surprise, astonishment, and relief on the faces of seniors after they’ve toured Hunters Woods at Trails Edge never gets old.

“What a joy it is to enlighten those who believe that a ‘nursing home’ is their only option as they age! Many have accomplished so much only to come to a place where they now feel powerless or useless. Solera Senior Living provides such an opportunity to remind them of how much control they can retain over their own lives. As we provide such varied opportunities for socialization, it encourages them to realize there is so much more they may still accomplish without feeling they are a burden to family members,” says Dawn. “There’s no need to sacrifice a sense of dignity, despite needing support at times.”

Dawn’s career spans more than 30 years, including medical, legal, revenue management, and senior living experience.

When she’s not sharing the good news of Hunters Woods at Trails Edge, Dawn can often be found seeking new destinations to visit with family and friends which may include time at the shore, taking on the latest and greatest coaster, snow-tubing, or enjoying time with pets, Luca, Choc and Kody.
