“We are very pleased to have a person of Adrianne’s experience join our dynamic Cypress Cove family,” says Cypress Cove Executive Director Michele Wasserlauf. “Her expertise will be extremely helpful as we prepare our level of care transitioning this spring with the opening of The Cottage.”
The Cottage at Cypress Cove is a distinctive two-story, four-household cluster small house concept (11 residential units per household). Construction of the neighborhood began last November and it is expected to be ready for occupancy this spring. When open, the residences will provide its residents with the finest and newest design for memory care and quality living.
Gerard is a graduate of DePaul University. She has worked previously in other assisted-living and retirement communities in Southwest Florida and Chicago. Currently, she is a Certified Support Group Facilitator with the Alzheimer’s Association, and a volunteer with the Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer’s Resource Center, the Humane Society of Lee County and the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Gerard and her family live in Fort Myers.
