As executive director,
DiFrancesco will be responsible for the operations
and management of the community at all levels including
executive staffing and promotion of The Village at
Gleannloch Farms.
"This is
such a wonderful community and I am honored to join
the team. I have a passion for seniors and a special
affinity for the many decisions they have to make
as they enter retirement. My entire career has been
spent in this field and it's a joy to serve others.
I look forward to building strong relationships with
the residents and my staff at The Village at Gleannloch

she was executive director. As one of the top administrators
of these skilled nursing centers, she focused on building
staff and family relationships and growing the communities
in terms of occupancy and brand esteem.

executive director at The Forum at Memorial Woods,
she was one of 25 top executive directors selected
out of a group of 400 for the annual Sunrise Strategic
Task Force. This was a prestigious appointment by
Sunrise and the group selected focused on alternative
and innovative healthcare programs for seniors.
