Gail McEachern
Director of Transitions in Living
Gail's strong interest in urban design and historic preservation enticed her to leave her social work career to pursue a 3-year degree program in Environmental Design at Parsons School of Design in New York. Upon completion, she worked on several urban revitalization projects in New York City.
Returning to Canada after 25 years in the United States opened up new opportunities. Having once helped a friend to move her elderly mother from one city to another over two consecutive weekends in what she desribed as a ‘ hit and run’ operation, she was convinced that there had to be a more supportive way to help seniors who were considering leaving their homes and moving to apartments or retirement residences. It was clear that the process of such a critical move had to be carried out thoughtfully and carefully so that the daunting task of such a change would be as smooth as possible. Ms. McEachern has been dedicated to this principle for the past 25 years as Director of Transitions in Living.
