SPRING VALLEY–Recently, Mount Miguel Covenant Village, a faith-based, not-for-profit, continuing care retirement community administered by Covenant Retirement Communities, welcomed La Mesa resident Ashley Gonzales to the role of Director of Assisted Living–the newest executive team member at the senior living community.

“We are pleased to have such an exceptional senior living professional join our Covenant Retirement Communities family,” states Thad Rothrock, executive director at Mount Miguel Covenant Village. “We look forward to utilizing her talents and skills to enhance Mount Miguel Covenant Village’s services for our residents and greater San Diego area.”

As the Director of Assisted Living, Gonzales is responsible for directing the daily operations and census in Mount Miguel Covenant Village’s Assisted Living neighborhood. This involves the coordination of admissions and discharges, as well as maintaining communication with the interdisciplinary team and the Health Care Administrator to ensure resident care and services are met.

Gonzales will also oversee new resident move-ins and orientation, and supervise operational functions and services including nursing, dining, housekeeping, activities and maintenance. She will also act as the senior living community’s liaison communicating with physicians, family, and the healthcare center regarding the changing condition of any resident.

Previously, Gonzales was employed at Fallbrook Hospital Skilled Nursing Facility as a registered nurse. “I appreciate the great value that is placed on each individual as a whole, encouraging optimal health for the mind, body and spirit”, says Gonzales. “God and my life experiences have transformed my heart to desire a loving and positive influence on the people I come into contact with. I intend to embrace fully each patient, their family and the team I work alongside.”

Gonzales is a graduate of Roseman University of Health Sciences [city,state] where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing.
