WELLMORE WELCOMES NEW LIFESTYLE ADVISOR

Wellmore of Daniel Island, a retirement community owned and operated by Senior Living Communities, LLC (Senior-Living-Communities.com), announced that Thom Gault has joined the company to further enhance their sales and marketing efforts. According to a press release, Thom has played a significant role in his previous positions and they all have a commonality – his calling to serve and help others live a happier, healthier life.

Originally from Southwestern Michigan, Thom went to school and eventually moved to Chicago to experience life in a big city. Working in marketing and logistics most of his professional career gave him the skills that will be useful as a lifestyle advisor, continued the release. After years of working in those industries, Thom took a step back and found his true calling. He worked for a non-profit that focused on senior living and child literacy.

“Thom understands the importance of empathy and meeting people where they are. He is bringing vital experience to our team, we are fortunate to have him,” said Ashley Seeds, Wellmore of Daniel Island’s executive director.

“I look forward to being part of the Wellmore of Daniel Island and helping prospects find the care that they need,” added Thom. Learn more about Wellmore of Daniel Island at: https://well-more.com/.

NEW MANAGERS ANNOUNCED FOR DANIEL POINTE

Husband and wife team Rita and Allen Bell are the new managers at the Daniel Pointe retirement community on Daniel Island. The Bells have been in the senior living industry for almost seven years. A welcome reception in their honor was held at the facility in late February.

“They find joy in what they do and feel it is more of a ‘calling’ than a job,” stated an announcement about their arrival distributed by Daniel Pointe. “Rita and Allen started with RLC in 2016 at Capital Oaks, in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will be moving from Sable Lodge in South Portland Maine, which opened in March of 2018.”

The couple first met in 1977 and began dating. After spending 35 years apart, they reconnected and have been married for four years in June. They now have a combined family of three sons, two daughters and a granddaughter (who resides in Georgia).

Rita was born in Queens, New York. She started work in medical technology field and later changed careers to become a clinical psychotherapist, with a masters in social work from Fordham University. Rita is an advocate for quality of life and believes in a strengths perspective. During her spare time she enjoys reading, writing, photography, cycling, swimming and gardening.

Allen was born in Cartersville, Georgia and moved to North Canton, Ohio, when he was a young boy. He received a BA in business from Ohio State University and played football for the Buckeyes. Allen spent most of his career working for Barnes and Noble, Scholastic Books, and in various retail companies at regional and district levels. He was a modest professional bowler and enjoys reading, golf, watching college football, outdoor photography, and good conversation with friends and family.

Their dog, Kotah, an American Eskimo, is always close by their side.

“All three look forward to making Daniel Pointe their new home and family,” continued the announcement.
