My name is Beverly Elliott, one of the Front Desk Receptionists. I have worked at Preston Pointe 5 years (maybe a little over…). I was an Administrative Associate with General Electric Aviation in Cincinnati, Ohio for 40 years. I have also worked in the Health Care industry as Admissions Coordinator.

I am married, have two sons and 4 wonderful grandchildren. As most of you know, I L-O-V-E knitting and other crafts. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring North Carolina.

I appreciate being recognized as “Employee of the Month”. The residents and family atmosphere make me look forward to coming to work. I enjoy the interaction, stories, and the fun times we share.

Beverly will receive a gift card, special parking space, and her picture and name will be featured on a plaque in the lobby. Preston Pointe appreciates her hard work, dedication and extra effort!
