Eric is a passionate and intense individual who takes pride in his role at his community. He enjoys working with adults and cherishes the daily interactions. Although he never envisioned himself in this role initially, a friend recognized his potential and suggested it, for which he’s very grateful. Eric admires Jon Bon Jovi for his philanthropic work and dedication to providing meals to those in need through the JBJ Soul Kitchen. He also deeply admires his wife, an expert teacher, for her exceptional skills in navigating the challenges of teaching in a polarized world. 

A typical day for Eric at Grace Commons is always action-packed and different, but the constant is being able to spend time with people. Few people know that Eric has learned enough card tricks to put together a show, and has been coaching basketball for nearly 25 years! When not at Grace Commons you can find Eric hiking with his family, doing Wordle in Spanish and English, grilling while shooting baskets in the driveway with his daughters, or solving crossword puzzles. Eric’s personal motto is, “People will teach you how to treat them.”

Christine is Grace Commons dedicated and compassionate RN, a role she’s been proud to hold since 2018. Her journey into nursing was influenced by her mother’s own career in healthcare, and she’s been committed to caring for people ever since. Christine’s colleagues describe her as kind, caring, and compassionate, with a touch of sassiness that adds a unique spark to her personality.

Outside of work, Christine finds her greatest happiness spending quality time at home with her two children and beloved pooch, Cooper. As a single mother for the past 20 years, she works tirelessly to create a brighter future for her kids, cherishing every moment they share together. One of Christine’s goals for the coming year is to leverage her recent education to enhance the standard of care and overall quality of life for the residents at Grace Commons. She’s passionate about making a positive impact on their lives and looks forward to growing her career within Capri Senior Communities. But beyond her professional aspirations, Christine’s ultimate life goal is to see her children happy and successful while leaving a kinder and more accepting world for future generations. 

She believes in the power of listening to residents’ stories, learning from their experiences, and being the best version of herself each day. Christine lives by the motto “Live for today because tomorrow is not promised,” a philosophy she shares with those she cares for and works alongside.
