Meet Our Community Team

Michelle Longwill

Executive Director

Michelle started her career in Senior Living at age 16. She knew then, that the people she served had lessons to teach her. That experience in the Dining Room led her to enroll in nursing school while she worked as a caregiver in Skilled Nursing. After receiving her nursing license, she worked as a nurse for 21 years with the senior population. While working at Merrill Gardens, she was encouraged by a colleague to move into a leadership role. She loved this opportunity to blend her nursing and leadership skills to truly make a difference in the lives of residents, their families and the staff.

He is married and blessed with 3 beautiful children. He and his family love going on hikes, fishing, and watching movies. As a Health & Wellness Director, David sees residents, resident’s families, and colleagues as his extended family.

Lacey Waldo

Staff Development Director

Lacey has been a Washington resident since she was about 7 years old. She, her husband, and her son enjoy hiking and camping in the beautiful PNW. She also enjoys watching football and is raising three fur babies. When Lacey was younger, she and her mom would visit their older neighbors to chat with them and offer help if needed. It was from these interactions that her enjoyment of working with older adults started to take shape. Later, when she saw the opportunity to work at Quail Park as a housekeeping supervisor, she jumped at the chance. It wasn’t long before Lacey was promoted to the position of Staff Development Manager.

Lacey loves getting to know our residents - listening to their jokes and stories – and being able to be part of the laughter and good times at Quail Park.
