“Jennifer has the experience we’re looking for—but more than that, she has the heart,” says Kim Parnell, Executive Director. “Our new Director of Sales and Marketing has a passion for working with seniors and their families and, perhaps just as important, she simply throws her heart into everything she does. Simply look at her volunteer work!”
According to Cantu, “I do a lot of volunteer work with several animal rescues. I guess I just love making sure everybody finds a good home.” She adds with a laugh, “Maybe that’s why—in addition to a wonderful husband and three amazing boys—I now have five dogs of my own!”
Cantu joins The Delaney at Parkway Lakes with more than 25 years of experience serving seniors and their families in various senior living settings. As Director of Sales and Marketing, she will help seniors and their families explore independent living options at The Delaney at Parkway Lakes and assisted living and memory care lifestyle services offered in the on-site neighborhoods of Hamlets at The Delaney.
“Joining the team now, as the community is getting ready to open, is really exciting,” says Cantu. “It is such a unique property. Nothing like a traditional retirement community, it’s more like a casually sophisticated home with a contemporary, but comfortable aesthetic. Residents will have all the freedom and privacy they want in a residence that offers all the beauty and modern conveniences of their current home, but with new friends, restaurant-style dining, and so many amenities right outside their door.”
Cantu has assumed her role at The Delaney at Parkway Lakes and may be reached at the community’s Information Center, now open at 22167 Westheimer Parkway, Suite 145, in Katy, Texas. Those interested in learning more may call (832) 945-1800 or e-mail info@TheDelaneyatParkwayLakes.com.
The Delaney at Parkway Lakes is currently under construction and scheduled to open this summer. When complete, The Delaney at Parkway Lakes will showcase 120 private apartment residences designed for those seeking an independent, carefree lifestyle. In addition, the community features Hamlets at The Delaney, neighborhoods comprised of 56 residences for those who need assistance with the activities of daily living as well as 36 studio suites for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias who would benefit from specialized memory care programming. The Delaney at Parkway Lakes is being developed by LCS Development® and will be managed by Life Care Services®, both of which are LCS companies.
