Gallaher Companies Launches Gallaher Signature Living
Gallaher Companies, a family-run business recognized for its extensive experience in senior living design and development, has recently introduced Gallaher Signature Living (GSL). This new management entity is set to enhance the operation of the company’s luxury senior living communities throughout California. Leading this initiative is the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Page Ensor, an industry veteran.
Page Ensor's Leadership
Page Ensor, who boasts a remarkable background with over 25 years in senior living, is positioned to take GSL into its next chapter. Her role in managing 70 communities across 20 states during her time with Brookdale Senior Living highlights her expertise in this sector. Ensor's proficiency in finance and operations, coupled with her understanding of workforce dynamics, makes her an ideal leader for GSL.
Molly Gallaher Flater, the Chief Operating Officer of Gallaher Companies, expressed her enthusiasm about Ensor’s appointment, emphasizing her skills in fostering a positive work environment that leads to exceptional experiences for residents. Ensor herself remarked on her commitment to improving daily living through enriching resident lifestyles while empowering employees to deliver personalized service, which has long been a hallmark of Gallaher Companies’ reputation.
Addressing California's Senior Housing Shortage
The announcement arrives at a critical time when California grapples with a severe shortage of senior housing. Forecasts from the California Department of Finance project that the state’s population aged 65 and older will increase by two-thirds in the coming two decades. By 2052, this demographic is expected to account for nearly 26% of California's total population. To combat this issue, Gallaher Companies is developing seven new Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), including exciting projects in Petaluma and Healdsburg.
These new communities will blend a boutique lifestyle with modern wellness and hospitality services, exemplifying the company’s dedication to elevating the standard of senior living. The establishment of Gallaher Signature Living promises to centralize management, assuring seamless integration between ownership and operations, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for residents, families, and staff.
The Legacy of Gallaher Companies
Founded in Sonoma County, Gallaher Companies has a rich history of developing over 70 senior and assisted living communities across the Western United States. The Gallaher family has previously held key roles in two senior living management firms, Aegis Living and Oakmont Management Group, before shifting their focus to real estate and banking. With Gallaher Signature Living, management is now back in-house, marking a significant expansion of the senior living portfolio of Gallaher Companies.
Beyond their senior living initiatives, the Gallaher family is involved in the ownership and development of multifamily and commercial properties and holds a majority stake in California-based Poppy Bank.
