Heritage Communities has appointed Lori Higuera as Executive Director of Orchard Pointe at Arrowhead. With 100 apartments, the premier Glendale, Arizona senior living community offers both assisted living and memory care services. As Executive Director, Higuera will be responsible for all operational facets within the community, including resident experience, quality of care, programming directives and leading a team of nearly 60 associates.
“I am humbled and honored to transition into the servant leader role of administrator at Orchard Pointe at Arrowhead,” says Higuera. “The ability to have direct interaction with residents and make a positive impact in their life motivates me to improve operational efficiencies and the overall resident experience.”
