Associate of the Month

This month, we are proud to shine the spotlight on Shanese Whipple, an associate whose warmth, compassion, and genuine care have made a meaningful impact at Legacy Ridge Marietta.

Shanese joined our team on January 21, 2026, bringing with her a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration from American InterContinental University and a heart for making others feel cared for. Originally from New Jersey, Shanese now calls Georgia home, where she enjoys life with her husband, their four children, and their two dogs.

One of the things that makes Shanese so special is the way she makes people feel. Whether she is spending time with a resident, talking with a family member, or simply passing someone in the hallway, Shanese has a natural way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and valued. She brings a sense of comfort wherever she goes, creating the kind of environment where people can relax, be themselves, and know that someone genuinely cares.

Outside of Legacy Ridge, Shanese enjoys spending time with her family and her two dogs. She also has a special love for Halloween, making October her perfect time of year! Her favorite color is purple, a fitting choice for someone who brings so much warmth and personality wherever she goes.

We are grateful to have Shanese as part of the Legacy Ridge Marietta family. Her kindness, compassion, and ability to make others feel comfortable are qualities that do not go unnoticed.

Congratulations, Shanese, on being named our Associate of the Month! We are so happy to have you on our team.
