We would like to welcome and introduce you to our new Receptionist Coordinator.

Teagan Pekarek comes to us from Florida where she worked in a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). Teagan’s husband had a job transfer that brought them to Asheville. She loves horses, owned a horse, and hopes to again. She has a 4-year old son, Roman Micah. Next time you are in, stop by and meet Teagan.
We recently said good-bye to Phyllis, who moved on to assume a new position. We wish her well in her new endeavor with a local non-profit organization.

You might see a new face when you walk into Heather Glen to visit.

Phyllis joins our staff at Heather Glen as a full-time receptionist coordinator. She is from Watertown, NY. After leaving New York approximately 20 years ago, she lived in Florida, Concord, NC and relocated to Asheville 3 ½ years ago. Phyllis has been married for 20 years and has 3 children. She’s been a vegetarian her entire adult life and recently became vegan.

Do you know all that goes into being the Receptionist Coordinator? Phyllis’ job at Heather Glen involves much more than answering the phones. Phyllis is the first face that you see when you come to visit Heather Glen. She is responsible for creating a welcoming environment for our guests and residents as well as assisting our Move-in Coordinator with helping things run smoothly on tours. She supervises the Reception Staff, coordinates transportation, and coordinates new move-ins. Phyllis is a jack of all trades here at Heather Glen and we are so excited to have her.

Please join us in welcoming Phyllis to our community.  Next time you are at Heather Glen, stop by to say hello!
