Over the past 18 years, Vicki has been recognized by her peers and honored with awards for her inspiring drive and determination to enhance our community. Her vision is that nursing homes will no longer be needed, as services are developed and available for everyone to remain in their homes as long as possible, and that no Texan will lack the resources they need to live a full and independent life.

Debbie McGee – Chief Development Officer – Debbie joined the staff in 2015 after 8 years in fund development with United Way of Greater Austin and United Way of Tarrant County.  Debbie became passionate about the caregiving industry as she experienced the value of excellent caregiving following her mom’s dementia diagnosis and a serious health issue her mother-in-law faced.  She enjoys getting to know the clients and making a difference in the lives of those with long term disabilities.
