Shorewood Senior Living
Our Team

DeAnn was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She moved to Florence with her husband, Jason, in 2017. DeAnn and Jason have three grown children- Laura, Abby, and Owen. DeAnn became Shorewood’s Executive Director in September of 2022.

DeAnn spent over three decades in healthcare working as a physical therapist. She has always worked primarily with the senior population- they are her passion. DeAnn deeply understands the unique challenges that aging can bring about and considers it a great privilege to assist seniors in a compassionate, respectful way that honors their values. Her work mantra has always been to treat the seniors in her care in the same way that she would want her own family members to be treated.

When not working, DeAnn and Jason like to find new hiking trails in Florence and the Pacific Northwest. She also enjoys baking, kayaking, and visiting with their children. On rainy, weekend days, you can find her curled up with a good book and a cat on her lap.

DeAnn likes to infuse fun into workdays and make people smile. “I want to be the reason that someone has a better day”, she said. “I know the work we do in senior living is important, and I will do my very best to make Shorewood feel like home”.

“It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it.” ~Nelson Mandela

“What is my passion?  Serving the people at Shorewood Senior Living,” says Susan.  Susan has been a part of this community since 1994.  She is thrilled to work for the new owners as of July 2016.  “Who wouldn’t like to work for a company with the motto Guided by goodness, loyalty, faith and fun?”  Shorewood has been a major part of Susan’s family.   Her husband retired after 16 years as Kitchen Director.  They raised four children during that time--three of them learned to work at Shorewood.  Shorewood has been a major part of baby showers, graduations, weddings, and more babies for her family.  Susan has enjoyed sharing her life with the elders and being a part of their lives.  As Business Services Director, she will continue to serve and make a positive difference in the lives of the Shorewood family.
