Marty Bores Promoted to Resident Life Director at Devonshire

Devonshire, the Erickson Senior Living community at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., has announced the promotion of William 'Marty' Bores to resident life director. Brad Andrus, Executive Director, praised Bores for his positive influence on the community since joining in 2007. In his new role, Bores will oversee various teams and programs aimed at enriching the lives of Devonshire's residents, including expanding activities in the continuing care neighborhood, Chatsworth.

Bores shared his journey to Devonshire, transitioning from a resort in upstate New York to a career dedicated to seniors in Florida. His approach to resident life is deeply personal, focusing on the stories and needs of each community member. Under his leadership, Devonshire offers a wide range of activities, responding to residents' desires, such as introducing personal training sessions.

The resident life experience at Devonshire, as Bores notes, often exceeds newcomers' expectations, with many wishing they had moved in sooner. His philosophy of kindness and gratitude shapes the community's culture, exemplified by initiatives like the Year of Kindness and Year of Gratitude. Bores and his team's commitment to making a difference extends beyond the community, as seen in their support for families at Quantum House.
