Our Team

The ‘right’
thing is
rarely the
easy thing.

Debra Draves, CEO / Co-Founder

Decades of healthcare and senior housing sales, marketing and operational experience did nothing to prepare me for the challenges of attempting to find the perfect Assisted Living provider for my own family members.

My mentor, dear friend and one of our distinguished Board Members, Trevor Hammond often says, “The right thing is rarely the easy thing.”

There are probably a million easier ways to serve older adults and their families, but I can’t imagine anything more rewarding than identifying a better way, gathering a tribe of brilliant, like-minded zealots and setting forth to upset the status quo.

Marianne’s deep operational background managing senior living communities gives her the perfect perspective to empathize with our provider partners. In addition, her experience was framed by serving her grandmother as one of her residents in the large assisted living community she managed. Not only does that help her understand what families and seniors are facing, she also directly understands what providers and their teams are juggling as they strive to provide the best services they can.

A natural and charismatic leader, Marianne loves encouraging, supporting, and cheering on associates to be the best they can be while placing the needs of older adults, their families and caregivers above all else.

Through it all, Marianne is a heart-driven leader. While her grandmother has since passed away, Marianne seizes every opportunity to make life a bit better, a bit cheerier for every senior. Leading Senior Living Guides, Provider Relations Coordinators and In-Field Liaisons, Marianne sets the standard for consistent excellent — “every touch, every time.”
