Chris Keene Named Associate of the Year at Priority Life Care’s 2025 Executive Director’s Symposium

The Crossings of Riverview, a Priority Life Care community, is proud to announce that Chris Keene, Lead Med Tech, received the “Bob Novak” Associate of the Year Award at the company’s annual Executive Director’s Symposium held in Jupiter, Florida.

Chris Keene, a retired Army and Air Force veteran, has been an integral part of The Crossings of Riverview since its opening in 2015. His exceptional dedication, compassion, and leadership have set a new standard for senior care within the Priority Life Care network.

Key achievements that led to Keene’s selection include:

  • Unwavering commitment to resident care, even while undergoing personal health challenges
  • Building deep, meaningful relationships with residents and their families
  • Setting a high standard for leadership and compassion
  • Consistently going above and beyond his duties to ensure resident well-being

“Chris embodies the very essence of what it means to provide exceptional care,” said Sherri Lindie, Executive Director of The Crossings of Riverview. “His dedication to our residents, even in the face of personal challenges, is truly inspiring. Chris doesn’t just know his job; he knows our residents, their families, and ensures that every detail of their needs is addressed with utmost care and respect.”

Keene’s impact extends beyond his daily responsibilities. He regularly visits residents in hospice or hospitals and maintains connections with former residents who have moved to other communities. His approach to care has not only enhanced the lives of residents but has also inspired and mentored new staff members, setting a high bar for compassionate senior care.

I would like to commend the staff at Crossings at Riverview for their compassion and care of my father during his residency at this community. Each member of the team took personal responsibility to ensure that he received the best care and attention possible.This was particularly important to me because of the limitations that families have had regarding visitation during Covid. The staff also did everything possible to help all of the residents continue to connect through activities, even if limited due to distancing requirements and accommodated visitation schedules for family. I am so thankful to all of the staff, particularly, Pam, Andrea, Deandra, William, Fatima and Cynthia. I would highly recommend this community to anyone considering assisted living for their loved one

My mother was there for almost three years. I can’t say enough for the care and love she received from the staff. It was a sad day yesterday moving her stuff out now that she’s in her final chapter of life. So if your looking for a place that will take care of your loved one this is it.

My grandpa is a current resident here and I never knew nursing homes could be this nice! The building is beautiful they have a theatre room, barber/hair salon, billiards room, beautiful outside area for him to walk and so much more. I love visiting my grandpa here and the nursing staff is always so nice and accommodating with anything he needs. He seems to be thriving here too and only ever brags about how well he is taken care of which put me at peace of mind.
