Our Leadership Team
Hudie Langston
Executive Director
Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hudie Langston. I’m a native of Michigan and have resided in Georgia for 30-plus years. I have a passion for serving seniors and have worked in the Senior Living/Long Term Care industry for 14 plus years as an Assisted Living Executive Director and a Skilled Nursing Administrator. I have received several accolades/awards such as Assisted Living Administrator of the year from the American College of Health Care Administrator (ACHAC); received Silver and Bronze Quality Awards from the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL); and I was in the first group of Administrators in the state of Georgia to graduate from the Georgia Health Care Association’s Georgia Leader Program (GHCA).
I am extremely excited to be a part of the Atlas Senior Living family and afforded the privilege to serve our residents, family members, and staff. My vision for Legacy Ridge at Brookstone is:
- For it to be a thriving community
- A community where residents are provided for with dignity and respect
- A place where employees feel that they are appreciated and recognized for exceptional performance
- A place where families feel secure with the care that is being provided to their loved ones that are entrusted to our care
- A place where strategic goals are being achieved
I enjoy leisure/recreational activities such as working out, reading, spending time with family and friends, sporting events (an Atlanta Falcons fan), musical concerts, bowling, roller skating, playing board games, traveling, and watching movies. In addition, I volunteer monthly at Margie’s House Inc., a non-profit organization established to connect the disadvantaged with the resources needed to become self-sustaining.
Cady Ugolini
Sales & Marketing Director
Cady comes to Legacy Ridge Brookstone with over 10 years of experience in Senior Living throughout the east coast. Cady is versed in all things relating to the care for seniors having worked in independent living, assisted living, memory care, home health and private duty homecare.
After graduating college at Towson University in Maryland, Cady started her first job as a concierge at a homecare company. Quickly, she realized her passion for helping and advocating for the senior population and their families. She and her family of five moved to Georgia three years ago where she has continued her love for Senior Living.
Cady and her husband, Justin, have three children and live in the Brookstone community. Their daughter, Keira, attends Harrison High School, their son, Keegan, attends Vaughan and their newest addition, Noah, is 8 months old and goes to daycare next door to the community! When Cady and her husband are not busy with their kids’ extracurricular activities and sports, they like to travel, visit family in Maryland and Massachusetts, go bowling, or be outdoors as much as possible. Having lived in both Massachusetts and Maryland, Cady cheers on the Boston Red Sox and Washington Commanders.
Stacey Wheeler
Business Office Manager
Hello, my name is Stacey Wheeler and I love being part of the team at Legacy Ridge at Brookstone. I began my career in the hospitality industry working for the Hyatt Regency Atlanta and then the JW Marriott at Buckhead. I moved over to managing apartment communities in the multi-family housing industry, where I spent 25 years taking care of the way people live. I have a strong customer service background and moving into my role here was a natural transition and more relaxed. I enjoy being with our residents and playing Bingo with them on weekends when I work.
I grew up in Peachtree City, Georgia and attended Georgia State University. My husband and I have lived in Acworth for the past 20 years. We have two sons and a dog named Beckham, who is spoiled rotten. Life has calmed down a little now that our youngest has his driver’s license and so I spend my free time on my baking business making custom decorated cookies.
Linda Lucas
Wellness Director
Throughout my life, my passion for caring for others has been the driving force behind my decisions and aspirations. My journey started at an early age when I had the privilege of assisting my mother in caring for an elderly neighbor, and that experience ignited my heartfelt commitment to senior care. That’s why I pursued a career as a licensed nurse, which allow me to provide compassionate and skilled care to those in need.
Additionally, I understood the significance of acquiring comprehensive knowledge and management skills to excel in the healthcare industry. To this end, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in management. This degree compliments my nursing qualifications but also equips me with the necessary expertise to effectively lead and contribute to the improvement of healthcare practices.
Above all, I am driven by my purpose of making a positive impact on the lives of those I serve. Providing compassionate care and enhancing the well-being of seniors fills me with a deep sense of fulfillment. It is my genuine commitment to improving their lives that motivates me each day.

I look forward to bringing new life to the community each day with fun and adventures.
I grew up in Marietta, Georgia and took part in band, orchestra, and drama throughout my school years. I was part of the National Honors Society of high school scholars. I have a daughter named Emmalee, two dogs, Cuddles and Buddy, and a cat named Shadow. In my free time, you’ll find me nestled in a cozy cabin in North Georgia, immersed in captivating reads and basking in beautiful moments with my precious daughter. I believe in spreading joy and uplifting spirits! #LegacyLife #CaregiverExtraordinaire #CabinHideaway
