Erika Gethers has worked at Cadbury Commons since 2017. After graduating from Newbury College with a B.S in Hotel, Restaurant & Service Management Hotel Administration, she began her career at Cadbury as a front-desk concierge, quickly being promoted to Lead Concierge. She was then promoted to Director of Activities in Memory Care based upon her background as an event planner of her own company and her love for working with the residents in our dementia care community. Erika is now excited to expand her role to Director of Memory Care. After three years in this industry Erika has found her passion for working with the senior population and especially those with various forms of dementia.
Since diving into this industry Erika has jumped at opportunities to learn as much as possible. For three years in a row she attended the Map through the Maze Conference by the Alzheimer’s Association, where she educated herself on various aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, staffing and activities. In 2020 she attained her certification as an Active Aging Specialist by SCW Fitness Education. She continues to learn more about the aging process, the different aspects of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and improved ways to keep your loved ones engaged in group sessions, Montessori-based activities, and one-to-one interactions with our staff. She loves to interact with residents and joins activities when possible. She takes great pride in the work she does and the service she provides for staff, families and residents.
In her spare time she is an event producer for her own company producing Popup Markets that bring small businesses and the local community together, as well as producing charity fashion shows. Erika also works as a home companion for older adults in need of help.
