Silvers, a native of Midland, Michigan, will oversee all of the day-to-day operations and manage all employees of the senior residential community. She has had an extensive background in independent living communities and skilled nursing facilities for the past 18 years.

"To serve the senior population, improve their life in any capacity and make their day a little bit better has got to be among one of the greatest feelings on earth," Silvers said. "These seniors have given their lives working hard and serving others. They've risked their lives in wars for people they've never met, so having the opportunity to pay them back even just a little is priceless."
