Ginger Nees Birk

Started in Assisted Living in 1998, as Assistant Executive Director, learning most everything about Assisted Living while on the job, and promoting to Executive Director within the first year. Over the next 22 years, have worked as an Executive Director for 6 different companies, as each company was bought/sold/merged, in various communities in Texas including Wichita Falls, Vernon, Grand Prairie, San Antonio and Graham. Although basics for each assisted living company and location was the same, each had their own systems, policies, and culture which required some flexibility, open-mindedness, and patience. In the last year and half with Brookdale, promoted to Area Director, helping the District Director oversee operations in 3 other communities in addition to home community in Wichita Falls. Throughout Assisted Living career, have been able to stabilize home community, which allowed the opportunity to assist regional team in struggling communities with state regulatory concerns, internal audits, day to day operations, HR investigations, and budgeting. Although, I enjoy working in communities as ED, the transition to Operations Specialist has been very rewarding and fulfilling, with both Eclipse Senior Living as well as my current position with Mustang Creek Estates. Moving campus to campus, allowed me to work with various teams and families, working to create a positive culture by creating better teamwork and accountability.
