Gibson, who joined Legacy Senior Living as an operations specialist and most recently served as regional director of operations, has a long-standing record of carrying out Legacy Senior Living’s mission to serve seniors with honor, respect, faith, and integrity.

“As our family of senior living communities continue to grow, we have never lost sight of our goal to provide the foundational support for each facility to thrive and provide the best care possible in their respective locations,” said Bryan Cook, president of Legacy Senior Living. “Jason’s proven excellence in organizational operations has been an integral part of that support in the past. With the expansion of his role, we’re confident we’ll be able to go above and beyond when it comes to serving our residents and team members,” he added.

After graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a degree in human services management, Gibson honed his experience at senior living communities throughout the Southeast before returning to his native Cleveland and joining the Legacy Senior Living team in January of 2019.

“The opportunity to use my administrative gifts to directly impact the quality of life for seniors and their families has been an immensely rewarding part of my role,” Gibson said.
