Rose Villa Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Vassar ByrdOne of the most rewarding parts of being the Executive Director at Rose Villa is getting to work with the team of experienced, creative, and smart managers who really run our community. My part is to focus on the future, to ensure Rose Villa serves the greatest number of residents in just exactly the ways that are most meaningful to them.

As we grow and enrich our campus, we are interested in focusing our resources on building strong links to the greater community at all levels, connecting with people and organizations that provide a natural fit with the attitude and lifestyle at Rose Villa.

Just as your own life is far larger than the confines of your house and your influence is wider than the street you live on, so it is with Rose Villa. We are no gated community of the super-affluent, but real people who find meaning in our larger world through all the many and varied connections and interests we bring to Rose Villa.

  • Physical fitness and wellness as a lifelong commitment.
  • Spiritual development expressed through service to others.
  • Care for the environment and the love of growing things.
  • Strength that comes from a diverse community.
  • Comradeship and bravery to face all the unexpected challenges
    a long life will bring.
  • Security from planning ahead and living in a supportive community
    like ours.

Not only do I have the privilege of working with the best in the field, but I have the honor to call as my colleagues the amazing people who call Rose Villa home.
