Kathy McKinney: Administrator
Kathy says…. “I have been a part of the Gloria Dei family since November 1998. I like working for Gloria Dei because it provides me the opportunity to give back to those who have worked and sacrificed in ways that I never had to, to put smiles on their faces and comfort in their minds. The Estates has a unique kind of energy that you feel when you walk through the door and it doesn't take long to feel the comforts of home once you move in. The staff and management take pride in demonstrating respect, politeness and service with a smile.”

This is a great place to live if you are looking for a small caring community where people care about each other and enjoy an active social life. You can be as active as you want to be or as private as you want to be according to your life style. When we were younger we use to say "this would be the great life”!”

couldn’t ask for better co-workers and the residents are like an extended family. I care for and am concerned about them and they care
about us. This is a wonderful place for low income seniors who wish to live independently with dignity. Family members can be assured
that their loved ones are in a safe, secure and caring community.”

found a new home that they feel is safe and secure. They don’t change their minds. Over time, we all have the feeling of family here.
I see these people every day and I can’t help but feel a closeness that carries with me when I leave at the end of the day.
I don’t forget them. It’s a good feeling to know that you are a part of something that affects people’s lives in a positive way.
Life is happening at the Towers – a good life.”
