OAKLAND — AgeSong, a family-run group of assisted-living senior communities in San Francisco and Oakland with a holistic approach to care, has announced the appointment of Judy Vared as community relations director for its Lakeside Park residence in Oakland. Lakeside Park is a 70-bed community that provides high-needs assisted living, dementia and behavioral health care to elders.
Vared is a Bay Area native and holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a teaching credential from UC Berkeley. As community relations director, she is responsible for sales and marketing, including the community relations with all individual, community and institutional referral sources.
“I am genuinely passionate about working with older adults and their families,” Vared said. “Having been a caregiver myself, I understand the difficult decisions that individuals and families face while making the transition to an assisted living community.”
Prior to joining AgeSong, Vared worked in admissions and public relations at Reutlinger Community for Jewish Living, and has a sales and marketing background in both the corporate and non-profit sectors.
“The wealth of experiences and knowledge that seniors have to offer is immeasurable,“ said Vared. “I’m excited to join the AgeSong team and be part of this unique community of caregivers and residents."
