Meet Your Lifestyle Director
Please join us in welcoming Faithe Bland our new Lifestyle Director. Faithe comes to us by way of Jackson where she resides with her 8-year-old son, Matthew, and their new addition, Butchie, their adopted Cairn Terrier/Yorkie mix. Faithe is an only child and is very close to her Mom who resides in Manchester just across the way from River Pointe.
Faithe has an undergraduate degree in Human Resources with a concentration in Business from the University of Delaware. After realizing she had a passion for helping others, she went on to get her Masters Degree in Recreation Administration from Kean University and acquired a Certification in Therapeutic Recreation.
Working as a Personal Trainer and a Group Fitness Instructor for over 15 years has also given Faithe the additional experience to help others. She has also worked in Long Term Care/Rehab Facilities as a Therapeutic Recreation Director, Assisted Living, and as an Administrator for an Adult Medical Day Care. Prior to arriving at River Pointe she was a Lifestyle Director in another Active Adult Community where she realized that is where her true passion lies.
In her spare time she enjoys working out, playing with her son Matthew, reading, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, listening to country music, and line dancing. Her idol is her Dad, whom she lost almost 6 years ago.
Please stop by and say hello; the office is always open.
