GAYLE JONES
Committed to serving since 2020
My first experience with senior living was deeply personal. I know first-hand that nothing can prepare you for that life changing decision so many of us face, when someone we love needs care and support that’s beyond our capabilities. But I also know you’ll experience a strong feeling of comfort and relief when you see the care, compassion, companionship and friendship our staff provides. This is much more than a job for them, it’s a vocation. After more than 25 years in healthcare, I’m excited and proud to have joined The Eddy’s elite team of dedicated professionals and very special caregivers. We all share a singular commitment: to enhance the living experience of each resident.
