For Friends and Neighbors of Crown Center for Senior Living MARCH 2024

I am honored to serve as the new Executive Director of Crown Center for Senior Living, and I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome I have received from this vibrant community.

Crown Center has earned a well-deserved reputation for providing quality, affordable housing and supportive services for older adults. Our success is built on the unwavering commitment and talent of our dedicated Board of Directors and staff, the broad support from the community, and, most importantly, the wonderful residents who call Crown Center home.

I am thrilled to be part of a community that values progress, inclusivity, and the well-being of its residents. The journey ahead is promising, and I eagerly anticipate getting to know each resident personally and working collaboratively to build an even brighter future for Crown Center. Andy

Executive Director

We have achieved significant milestones that underscore our dedication to enhancing the living experience for our residents.

Completion of Crown Center’s Phase 1 Building and Staenberg Commons

Our commitment to providing a top-notch community has come to fruition with the successful completion of the Phase 1 Building and Staenberg Commons.

Resettling Residents

We successfully relocated 25 residents from our original Tallin Building, ensuring their comfort and safety, while also welcoming 20 new residents into our new building.

Tallin Building Demolition

As part of our strategic plan, we have undertaken the demolition of the Tallin Building to pave the way for future developments that align with our vision for Crown Center.

Inviting Community Spaces

Our newly constructed building features bright and cheerful gathering spaces, fully accessible to all, and inviting community rooms. We believe in creating an environment that fosters connection and community.

Preparing for Phase 2

Excitingly, the groundwork for Phase 2 has begun. We remain committed to continuous improvement and expansion to better serve our residents and the greater community.

Celebrating Nikki Goldstein’s 23 Years of Dedication

On December 19th, the Crown residents & volunteers came together in a heartwarming celebration to honor Nikki Goldstein, who dedicated 23 years to the role of Executive Director at Crown Center.

The event, attended by residents, volunteers, and staff alike, was a touching tribute to Nikki’s enduring commitment and the impact she has made on our community. Heartfelt stories were shared that captured the essence of Nikki’s leadership, and gifts were presented as tokens of gratitude.

As the program unfolded, Nikki took the stage to share her own reflections of her incredible journey at Crown. Her words resonated with a deep sense of fulfillment and pride in the community she had helped shape and nurture over the years.
