Meet our Executive Director

Katie Reilley
Hi, my name is Katie! I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Healthcare Management. Eleven years ago, I started as a caregiver at one of our Navion sister communities in Boone and discovered my passion for working with seniors. My career eventually brought me into senior living sales and obtaining my administrator’s license. I came to Walnut Ridge in February 2023 as the Director of Sales and Marketing and then transitioned into the Executive Director position in May. It’s an honor for me to care for your loved ones and to be a part of the Walnut Ridge team. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our community!
