Description
The Legacy Senior Communities (LSC), a not-for-profit, Jewish faith-based senior care organization based in Dallas, Texas, seeks a values-driven, collaborative, and visionary leader to serve as its next Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Since 1953, LSC has been dedicated to caring for Jewish seniors and today proudly serves older adults of all faiths throughout the Dallas metropolitan area. Guided by Jewish values and a commitment to excellence, LSC provides a comprehensive continuum of services, including independent living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, in-home care, and hospice. Across its communities and service lines, LSC delivers compassionate care with dignity, hospitality, and respect, enabling seniors to live engaged, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.
LSC operates two thoughtfully designed senior living communities in Dallas and Plano—The Legacy Midtown Park and The Legacy Willow Bend—along with a robust in-home care division, The Legacy at Home, serving seniors across the region. The organization is well-positioned to strengthen its financial resilience, advance operational excellence, elevate the resident experience, and expand its presence as the premier provider of Jewish senior care, both locally and nationally.
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will guide LSC’s strategic direction, oversee growth initiatives, champion its culture, and enhance the organization's external presence and brand. The ideal leader will embrace LSC’s Jewish values, demonstrate openness and respect for the communities it serves, and bring an inclusive leadership approach that reinforces organizational cohesion. Establishing trust among LSC's Board of Directors, Leadership Team, staff, and residents is a key priority for the new leader. LSC's CEO will foster transparent communication, collaboration, and a culture that empowers others through shared accountability and a strong focus on hospitality.
The CEO will strengthen LSC’s reputation and brand as the premier provider of Jewish senior care in Dallas through championing service excellence, promoting the organization’s values and heritage, and serving as a visible and authentic ambassador in the community. They will cultivate strong partnerships, lead public engagement efforts, and manage communications with steadiness and clarity. The CEO will partner with the Chief Financial Officer to ensure long-term financial resilience and growth in alignment with the organization's mission.
The successful leader will cultivate a mission-driven, inclusive culture that enhances employee engagement and supports leadership development and professional growth. They will broaden donor and community partnerships and strengthen philanthropic efforts through storytelling and engagement efforts. Above all, the CEO will ensure that LSC's residents' perspectives meaningfully inform decisions and continuously enhance hospitality and service standards across LSC's continuum of care.
