Meet the Team

John

Executive Director

Hello and welcome to Wells Point Lodge. I’m John and I am the Executive Director of Wells Point Lodge (formerly Heatherwilde Assisted Living). I'm proud to work with such a great, experienced team here at Wells Point Lodge.

I served in the Army for twenty years as a squad leader and recruiter, so my focus has been leading and training others. Before Wells Point Lodge, I lead a smaller assisted living community and worked in a number of different healthcare and senior housing settings in different roles.

We have a great team here at Wells Point Lodge who focus on building relationships and trust with our Residents. We know how blessed we are to be entrusted to care for a family’s greatest treasure, and work hard to exceed our Residents and their families’ expectations daily.

I look forward to showing you our beautiful community and welcoming you into the Wells Point Lodge family.

Leslie

Wellness Director

Hi, I’m Leslie and I’m thrilled to join the Wells Point Lodge team. I’ve been a nurse for a number of years and worked in and lead several assisted living communities. I have worked in a range of settings largely focused on long term care. I’ve enjoyed getting to know all of our Residents and their families and am looking forward to many more years here.

Come visit us at Wells Point Lodge and meet our amazing Residents and wonderful staff. We look forward to meeting you!

Dana

Dining Service Director

Hi, I’m Dana and I’ve been the Head Chef and Dining Service Director at Wells Point Lodge (formerly Heatherwilde Assisted Living) for almost 10 years. I started at Heatherwilde as a part-time weekend cook and over the years worked my way up to Dining Service Director. I’ve cooked professionally for over 10 years and trained at the University of Florida’s School for Nutrition and Food Service Professionals.

I am originally from Amarillo, TX, but have called Pflugerville home for the last 10 years. I’ve even attended the same high school in Amarillo as a few of our Residents. I’m known to them as Dandy Sandie. It’s great having so many connections with Residents—they are my second family.

I’m married with a son, and have a tremendous love for cooking.

I am truly blessed to be a part of a great organization. Wells Point Lodge is just a super place to be and I look forward to many more years here.

Shannon

Activity Director

Hello, I’m Shannon and I’m the Activities Director at Wells Point Lodge. I’m blessed to have such a rewarding job in this wonderful community. I receive such pleasure and joy on a daily basis being able to bring smiles and laughter to our Residents through our daily activities and just conversation with them. It’s a great honor to be able to be an extended part of the Residents and their families’ lives.

I’ve worked in healthcare for over twenty years in several different areas including memory care and assisted living.

I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and relocated to Texas two years ago and am proud to call it home.

When I’m not spending my day with our Residents, I enjoy spending time with my husband and boating.
