~ Our Staff ~
The Autumn Years 'Angels'

They Have That Something Special

Our staff is truly amazing. They have the knowledge, skill and patience to care for people who are challenged by dementia. They have the energy and systems to do it every day. Plus, they have that special something that comes from deep inside oneself, the combination of drive, compassion and courage that allows them to "cheerfully" assist someone who's memory is flickering and/or fading...even when their own heart is breaking.


Deirdre Daly

Community Director

Deirdre brings her Irish heritage of sharing hospitality to work with her every day. You will notice right away that she leads with compassion and cares with a big heart. And she makes it all seem effortless. In addition, her years of experience in assisted living enable her to understand that the residents and staff members really need her support if they are to continually deal with the conflicting worlds that dementia creates.


Aly Alonso

Resident Care Manager

From day one, Aly has felt that assisted living was her calling. She is a natural caregiver, it’s in her blood. In more than 15 years time, she has worked her way through many of the positions at Autumn Years. That’s probably the main reason whys she manages with so much empathy. With all her experience, she understands the challenges and surprises that confront her residents and her staff on a daily basis.


Gracie Castillo

Personal Care Manager

Gracie looks forward to coming to work. She is ready to go and brings lots of energy with her. Her residents benefit because she turns all that energy into genuine love and relentless care. She is one of those positive people who seems to see a bright side whenever possible. And for some reason, she finds it very easy to bond with seniors and they all like her. Maybe it the smile...it lights up any room she enters.
