Melissa Russell
Assistant Executive Director
My hometown of Temple, Texas is where I started my career in senior living. My passion has always been to work with seniors.
I have over 31 years of experience working in senior living. I got my start working in the home health industry. The last 13 years I have held roles working in Assisted Living and Memory Care communities as Business Office Directors and Executive Director. The biggest reward is being part of the residents and their families’ lives interacting with them daily.
In my spare time I enjoy time with my family, dancing and running.
