Sherry Tabor

Executive Director

Sherry Tabor, has worked in senior living for more than 15 years across several roles including VP of operations, regional director of operations, and executive director. As a young child her household was impacted by dementia with her father’s shocking diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in his early thirties. After college she was an educator for many years in the public and private sector. She then spent many years combining her two passions shaping her early career as a caregiver: education of dementia and desire to help others. Sherry provided hands-on training sessions in senior living communities across North Carolina to support caregivers who care for residents with dementia and other memory-relation conditions. She had various opportunities to sharpen her leadership skills, developing a successful management style, team building, and various strategic critical thinking skills. Sherry loves time with her family whether it be fishing, relaxing on the beach, or traveling. Her wife Robin and son Gator are supportive in her work and love participating in events at TerraBella Northridge. Originally from Elizabeth, New Jersey, she loves a good New York bagel or pizza!
