Jeff introduced us to the Green House concept and built a resident-centered culture offering excellent care and services at a great value. In addition, Jeff is leaving us with an organization that is growing and one that is financially sound. We want to express our deepfelt gratitude to Jeff for his numerous contributions to Londonderry Village, and we wish he and his wife, Kristi, all the best as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.”

We have a Search Committee in place and are engaging an Executive Search Firm to assist us with the process of sourcing qualified candidates and ultimately identifying the next President and CEO for Londonderry Village. We expect to announce a replacement for Jeff in the Fall.”
