Colton Balmforth
Executive Director
"I had my first exposure to senior care when I was eight years old. I went to a small nursing home to see my great-grandmother. I quickly started visiting patients who looked sad and lost. I held their hands, wiped food from their mouths, and helped them eat. Not knowing where I was, my mom worried I was lost, but I had never felt more at home. Although I enjoyed my visit that day, I noticed the poor quality, lack of happiness among the people, and overall unacceptable quality. I knew that I was going to change that someday. Senior living is simply part of who I am. Building successful retirement communities for team members, residents, their loved ones, and investors motivates me."
