Join us in welcoming our newest Senior Adult Program Coordinator, Brooke McCarthy!

Brooke is far from a stranger to the world of senior services. Her journey began over 20 years ago as a Program Coordinator for a senior center in North Carolina. For the last seven years, she has served as the Director of Sales & Marketing for several local senior living communities, bringing a wealth of expertise and a heart for service to our Germantown team.

After spending a decade enjoying the coastal life in North and South Carolina, Brooke and her family moved to Collierville in 2017. She and her husband, Mac, recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary! Together, they stay busy keeping up with their 16-year-old son, Connor, and their 14-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn.

When she isn't brainstorming new ways to keep our senior community active and engaged, you’ll likely find Brooke traveling, working out, lost in a good book or embracing her favorite role as a "soccer mom."

Please join us in giving Brooke a warm welcome! We are so lucky to have her leading the way for our senior adult community.
