Peggy
Martin, R.N., CNHA Executive Director
"My family and I migrated to Naples from Philadelphia,
PA in 1979 when I was transferred to one of only two healthcare
communities in Naples; now there are many more. My background
has been in geriatrics for over 40 years and counting. I love
coming to work everyday and have found Assisted Living extremely
satisfying after many years in the Nursing Home Industry. I
have 3 children and 7 grandchildren (five live nearby) and two
cats. Making a difference in people’s lives is an everyday
challenge which is most rewarding for me." |

Marty
Paulus
Business Office Manager
"I am married to a wonderful woman named Joann. We have
a 15 year old son and three beautiful labs, Boomer, Shannie
and Datsy, all named after hockey players. I am a military veteran,
serving 15 years in the Army, and I am currently an avid golfer
with a love for baseball, football and hockey as well. I enjoy
interacting with the residents here at Barrington Terrace and
ensuring their billing needs are taken care of." |

Phyllis
Sargeant, L.P.N Certified Assisted Living Nurse, Resident Care
Director
I am the only native Floridian on board and with that comes
much teasing from my colleagues. My first position in geriatrics
was in the early 90’s after I finished nursing school;
I have been enchanted ever since. I have two sons, two grandchildren
and one cat, I love them all dearly. During Fire Cat season,
I have no friends as I am hard to live with when they don’t
win. Working here has been very rewarding to me and has made
a great impact on my life. |

Chris
Hoel
Dining Room Manager
"I love working with Gina on new and creative ways to present
food to our residents. I am married and am a mother to my four
cats. My husband is a sheriff and stops in now and then to visit
our residents. The residents are the most important part of
my day and I look forward to serving their needs with love and
care." |

Eve
Kosciusko
Marketing
"Originally from Brooklyn, New York, I moved to sunny
Naples, Florida in August of 2005. I joined the Barrington
Terrace team in February of 2008. I recently graduated
from Hodges University with a Bachelor’s in Business
and Marketing. My grandmother resides at Barrington
Terrace, and I am grateful to share a smile with her during
the day. Any spare moment I have is spent with my fiancé,
Justin, and our energetic puppy, Lily Belle. The most rewarding
part of my day is spreading the word of the compassionate
staff and high quality of life that Barrington Terrace offers
the local community and educating healthcare professionals,
residents, and their families that the possibilities available
at Barrington Terrace are priceless." |

Gaye
Tawney
Activity Director
"When you meet me, you would think I am totally inhibited
and then when you see me with the residents, you will soon realize
how much I love what I do. I enjoy the residents helping me
plan the activities we are going to do and most of all I love
doing whatever it is with them. I am married and have two wonderful
daughters who also share my passion for the elderly. My husband
and I enjoy Sushi and the companionship of our frisky cat." |

Rebecca
Sanders
Evergreen Program Director
"I am married with two beautiful doggies. I enjoy working
in Assisted Living and recently completed Core Training. Everyday
has been a new experience since I’ve come on board, and
most of all I love solving resident problems and concerns. My
heart is always warmed when a resident comes in my door as it
gives me one more chance to let them know I care." |

Ernesto
Garcia
Food Service Director
"I was born in the United States, delivered by my aunt
who was a midwife in a small farming community in Harlingen,
TX. I have three sisters and two wonderful parents who take
pride in living in the United States, they will soon become
citizens. Perhaps living on a farm introduced me to delectable
foods for which I now have a passion. Arriving in Florida
in my early teens to live with my grandparents and attended
school, I soon found a job in a restaurant and was hooked.
I moved to Naples and found a position in a Skilled Nursing
Facility, then moved on to a large retirement community. Perhaps
that is when I realized that not only did I have a passion
for food but also for retirees. I worked for a year at Ritz
Carlton until my present position opened. I love meeting and
fulfilling the resident’s wishes. Besides cooking, my
two favorite hobbies are wind surfing and model car building.
It’s good to be back with the many professional friends
and mentors I have worked with since the mid 80s." |

Dan
Walsh
Maintenance Director
"Everyone kids me about being a tough guy, but I am really
a pussycat when it comes to the residents and their needs. I
love talking with them and doing things for them. My wife also
works here as a receptionist so we enjoy sharing stories each
evening. I love my grandchildren and love bringing them in to
see the residents. Soon, Gloria and I will welcome a new dog
to our home." |

Julie
LeBriton
Marketing
"I’m originally from Indiana but I’ve
lived in Florida for nearly 25 years. My husband, Jeff and
I live in Naples with my teenage son, Noah, and our baby,
Jake, who was born in March, 2008. I’ve worked in Assisted
Living for over six years, and when the opportunity arose
to join the amazing team here at Barrington Terrace I jumped
at it! I love helping seniors find solutions to their challenges
and enjoy helping them make the move into our beautiful community
as easy as possible." |

Darlene
O’Neill
Housekeeping Supervisor
"I started working in geriatrics when my grandparents owned
a nursing home many moons ago. I love making the residents happy
and keeping our facility spotless. My team is spectacular and
each and every one of them loves to work in our community and
serve the residents’ needs. I think that’s what
it’s all about! I am married and my children do not live
nearby so having the residents as a surrogate family works well
for me." |
