Shaye Straw

I have nearly 30 years’ experience in healthcare, which includes over 15 years working as a director of social services and case manager addressing the psychosocial needs of older adults. As a seasoned small business owner and executive leader within the senior housing industry, I have a passion for operations and service to others.

I love music and have played in several bands throughout the years. Some of my youthful accomplishments as a musician include a feature on the cover of a national music magazine and being aired on music stations in cities throughout the United States and internationally.

I’m a firm believer in active lifelong learning; I’m often reading 2 or 3 books concurrently to stay sharp and continue my personal growth. I also make daily time for exercise, which includes long early morning walks- watching the sunrise is nourishing to the soul!

I believe a life well lived revolves around service to others. Helping our residents and our employees to live their best life and achieve their goals gives me purpose every day.

Culture is everything! When we serve others, we are at our best. When we are at our best, we do our best. When we do our best, good things happen.
