Greetings, I’m Stephanie Donaldson, currently serving as the Executive Director at the Village at Sugarland. I find immense joy in my role, which involves engaging with our seniors, each with a unique personality reflective of the broader community. Our seniors are reservoirs of wisdom, offering valuable lessons and experiences, making every day a new opportunity for growth.

In my capacity as Executive Director, I collaborate with an exceptional team of dedicated staff, many of whom boast decades of experience in the healthcare sector. Together, we are committed to establishing an unparalleled assisted living and memory care community in Sugar Land. We aim to showcase exemplary resident care and foster a thriving community environment.

While my professional life is fulfilling, my personal life revolves around faith and family. They form the solid foundation upon which everything else in my life is constructed. As a woman of faith, wife, and mother, I approach every role with sincerity, whether at home or work. Striving to be the best version of myself is a commitment I uphold for the benefit of everyone I encounter.

Life, to me, is a journey, and faith and family are my steadfast companions. With great traveling partners, the journey becomes an unforgettable adventure.

My most fulfilling moments as a nurse center around my interactions with elderly residents. I take pleasure in hearing their narratives about past experiences, workplaces, and the diverse places they explored in their youth. Observing their aging process, I am particularly intrigued by understanding the factors that contribute to their happiness and those that do not.

Beyond my professional life, I am a mother of two: a twenty-six-year-old son and a twenty-year-old daughter. Despite them leading their own lives, I treasure every shared moment. Although I do not yet have grandchildren, I patiently await the opportune time when they decide to embark on their family journeys.
