Betsie Sassen
Director of Café Development
Mather Lifeways, Evanston, Ill.

Reason You Work in Aging Services:
My first experience working with older adults as a hostess has stuck with me. I still remember the people I met and the experiences I had at that first job. I feel like I have gotten so much more out of my work than I have contributed.

Perfect Day:
When I feel like I have made a difference in the lives of our residents.

Inspiration:
My husband.

Hidden Talent:
I am great at networking. I am a very engaging person and make friends at the drop of a dime.

Theme Song:
