Message from the CEO

Dear Friends,

At Redstone our mission is guided by principles that define who we are and how we serve others. We hold ourselves to standards that embody grace, kindness, and the spirit of genuine care encompassing our commitment to providing an environment that fosters lifelong growth and emotional resilience for those at every age and holds our interactions to a standard that reflects compassion and respect for those who call our community home.

Our core values—Truth, Teamwork, Respect for All, Life Balance, and Lifelong Learning—are the foundation of our culture. They shape how we work together, how we care for residents, and how we respond to the challenges and opportunities before us. These values call us to act with integrity, collaborate as one team, honor the dignity of every person, support balance in life, and continually grow in knowledge and skill.

This past year has been a time of significant transition. After 24 years of dedicated leadership, John Dickson retired as CEO, leaving a remarkable legacy of excellence and compassion. We are deeply grateful for his vision and commitment, which helped shape Redstone into the vibrant, caring community it is today. Successfully navigating this transition has been a testament to the strength of our team and the resilience of our mission.

As we look ahead, we recognize that the senior living industry continues to face ongoing challenges, including workforce shortages and pressures related to reimbursement. These realities require creativity, collaboration, and steadfast focus on our values. At Redstone, we are committed to addressing these challenges head-on—investing in our people, advocating for fair and sustainable funding, and ensuring that our residents receive the highest quality of care.

Through every change and challenge, principles and core values remain our compass. They remind us that our work is not just about providing services—it’s about creating a home where dignity, joy, and grace flourish.

I am honored to serve as the new CEO of Redstone and I thank you for trusting me and our entire team with this important chapter of life. Together, we will continue to live out our values in all we do.
