Cleveland, Tenn. (Nov. 2024) — Legacy Senior Living and Dominion Senior Living are pleased to announce the promotion of Reggie Richardson to Director of Culinary Services. Richardson started his journey with Dominion Senior Living in February 2020 as Executive Chef for Everlan Senior Living of Johnson City.

His dedication to creating delicious, nutrient-dense menus, designed with seniors in mind, is essential to our goal of providing the best possible care for our residents. He has been instrumental in our dining programs so far and I’m excited to see him continue to grow in this role,” said Doug Veazey, COO of Legacy and Dominion.
