Teresa Smith brings a unique perspective and a wealth of experience to her role as Executive Director at Emerald Gardens. She began her journey in senior care 18 years ago as a caregiver, right here at Emerald Gardens. Teresa rose through the ranks, gaining firsthand experience in every aspect of senior care operations. This rich background has equipped her with a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of both residents and staff, making her a truly empathetic and effective leader. 

Teresa is a dedicated resident of Woodburn for many years alongside her husband. They are proud parents of three children and enjoy spending time together as a family, exploring the Oregon coast, cheering on their children at sporting events, and sharing movie nights.

The Radiant Senior Living Team

As part of the Radiant Senior Living family of senior care communities, we believe that great care for our residents begins with establishing a culture of caring with our team. It is important that from our application and interview process through general orientation and training that culture of caring is evident.

We are proud to have a team comprised both of team members who have worked with us for many years and those who are just starting their career in caring!
