As an 18-year-old, fresh from leaving home for the first time, Faith Waters walked into The Langford at College Station hoping to secure a job she could do for a while as she attended school, first at Blinn College and then at Texas A&M. After spending over 4 years with the residents and team at The Langford, Faith graduated in May of this year and left The Langford in pursuit of her first professional position. She was gone about 4 months when a professional position with the Dining Team at The Langford opened. Faith was approached about the opportunity and just recently has returned as the Dining Room Manager.
Have you heard of a data mining center? For most people, the concept is brand new. Residents and staff of The Langford; however, became especially acquainted with the term in early September when the city of College Station was considering selling a plot of land in the mid-town area for this purpose, placing the building only 800 feet from The Langford.
If you are looking forward to graduation, you know that choosing the right career path can feel overwhelming. While some industries are immediately obvious—like tech, healthcare, or finance—there’s one sector often overlooked that offers incredible growth opportunities, personal fulfillment, and transferable skills: senior living.
Nationally, senior living is an industry where high turnover among employees is the norm, skyrocketing in the years that followed the pandemic with only the most remarkable communities getting out from under this trend. The Langford in College Station is one of those exceptional communities who maintains a steady team of dedicated workers with an average turnover rate that falls well below the average.
