My career in Senior Living began as a volunteer in Life Enrichment. This, along with caring for my mother in her last days, gave me a servant’s heart towards our seniors. In addition to my own family, which includes a new husband, 4 children and a new grandson, I now have a host of other friends and family that I am privileged to interact with at Governor’s Ridge on a daily basis. It warms my heart knowing I have been part of making someone’s day a little brighter with a smile or a kind word. We’d love to meet you here at The Ridge!

Paula Martin has served as a dedicated Resident Care Supervisor at Governor’s Ridge for the past 7 years.  Her care for her own mother through a difficult illness has helped Paula to relate in a very personal and insightful way to the needs and cares of the residents of Governor’s Ridge and their families.  Her unique dedication sets her in a pivotal and irreplaceable role at our facility.

Hello! I am Cyndee Neal, the new Activities Director here at Governor’s Ridge in Decatur Tx. I have been a staff member for 1 ½ years as the transportation driver. I have several years experience in activities with the Committee on Aging and Director of the Bridgeport Senior Center. I attended college at Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches. My hobbies are crafts, painting, boating and spending time with my grand children. I enjoy making the residents smile and laugh. The residents and staff at Governor’s Ridge are family, and I will do my best to encourage that relationship.

Bethany Cobb – I began working at Governor’s Ridge as a caregiver my senior year in high school (2007) and have fallen in love with the senior population. I transitioned to Assistant Care Director and eventually into Administrative Assistant. When not at work, I am raising my 5 year old son, caring for my mom and spending as much time as I can outdoors. My goal is making our residents’ lives better every day. It may be a hug, helping with their electronic questions or talking to their families. I am ready and willing to meet their needs, whatever it may be.
