Ridgewood Leadership Team

David Burke

David brings over twenty-five (25) years experience working with seniors and healthy aging. He believes we should have options as we age, options that support independence, respect, equality and love.

He believes it is not enough we have caring and competent staff; we must also do inspiring work together. It is not enough we can provide great meals, nice accommodations, recreation and leisure events, excellent care, and a meaningful place for people to live, we must also create community and home.

Kat Foster Crouse

Kat cares for people and is grateful for the many life lessons she has learned from her elders. Being active and participating in engaging activity (fun) should not end as we age. Age is just a number and she loves the challenge of changing the mindsets of people who think differently.

Kat feels privileged to work with the residents of Ridgewood Assisted Living and often affectionately refers to our residents as her “Auxiliary Grandparents”
