REDONDO BEACH, Calif. — The Ridge Senior Living, a Redondo Beach-based owner-operator, has announced its plans to transition to self-management on Jan. 1.
As a part of the management change, The Ridge also promoted Mandy Hampton to the role of CEO, effective immediately.
Hampton joined The Ridge Senior Living as COO in 2017, after nearly 20 years in senior living. She has overseen the expansion of The Ridge system from two standalone assisted living and memory care communities in Utah to Colorado, where the company recently opened The Ridge Pinehurst, a 371-unit luxury community.
“What the change in management means for residents, families and more than 250 employees is that we can continue to grow our organization and take responsibility for the day-to-day operations into our own hands,” says Hampton. “Our ownership, which remains unchanged, has been supportive of this move and what it means to The Ridge family and our future growth.”
The name of the ownership company was not released.
As a part of the changes, the company announced four new hires on the corporate team: Suzanne Foley was appointed vice president of human resources, Diane Macheers was appointed as vice president of corporate communications, Laura Skirucha was appointed senior accountant and Penelope Stoddard was promoted to vice president of clinical services.
