"Paul Gregg is an outstanding senior living leader. His extensive experience, collaborative leadership style, and genuine care for others make him an excellent choice for anyone needing consultative services or interim leadership coverage. During his seven month support of our luxury CCRC in Fort Worth, Texas, Paul was incredibly helpful and won the admiration and appreciation of residents, family members, associates, and leaders. I am thankful for the way Paul engaged with all key stakeholders and sought to make operational improvements, while at the same time recognizing his role was to facilitate the transition of the community to a new leader. Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I recommend him highly and without reservation. "

Paul was a pleasure to work with for the six months he served The Stayton as Interim Executive  Director. I found him extremely insightful, with a depth of invaluable knowledge as we worked on a variety of community topics. Paul is an excellent listener with a caring communication style. Residents found him very approachable allowing for comfortable dialogue. His easy-going manner and visibility were welcomed and so appreciated. Although his stay was measured only in months, we found a sense stability and hope by the time he departed.

"Paul was an absolute professional while serving as an interim Executive Director for WesleyLife. I would highly recommend him for other non-profit senior living positions. He has excellent communication both to his team and to customers as well as to senior leadership. He is very organized and was able to keep things moving forward during his time with us. While with us, he was able to create stronger sense of teamwork and communication within the team through his leadership practices focusing on customer experiences, team appreciation, and overall quality. In a short time he was able to build the relationships needed to keep the organization moving forward. I will not hesitate to utilize his skills again if there is a interim need or special project.

"I worked directly with Paul while he was the Interim Executive Director at The Summit of Bettendorf.  Paul was attentive, organized and thoughtful in his approach to serving the community.  We had serious difficulty with retention and financial performance in the past.  Paul helped improve both of those issues and was well liked by residents and colleagues.  I would hire Paul again if the opportunity arises.

I appreciate the way Paul dove right in, and really got into the details. Paul is an experienced leader, that understands the continuum of care - and I appreciated his ability to keep the focus on things that truly matter. I would highly recommend Paul, and hope to work with him in the future.
