He went on to design, build, and operate our very first community in Conroe. And while he may have started as the architect, he quickly became so much more. He was never one to stay behind the scenes—he worked the floor, connected with residents, supported the team, and experienced firsthand what it truly means to care for individuals living with conditions affecting memory.
That experience shaped not only our buildings, but our philosophy.
Since then, Sabir has gone on to design and build the majority of our Village Green communities, each one intentionally created to feel warm, safe, and dignified—never institutional. Every detail reflects the belief that environment matters deeply in how we care for and connect with our residents.
Together, this work has become so much more than a profession—it is our life’s purpose.
On a personal note, I am the very proud mother of four beautiful children and one grandson so far—many of you know my eldest daughter, Aria, who we consider the heart of Village Green. Sabir is a proud father of three daughters, and together our growing family continues to bring us so much joy… with hopefully many more grandchildren to come.
Outside of our communities, one of our greatest shared loves is traveling. It’s not just a hobby for us—it’s something that fills our souls. We cherish the opportunity to experience different cultures, wander through unfamiliar cities, take in breathtaking landscapes, and discover hidden gems along the way. Whether it’s a quiet coastal town, a bustling market halfway across the world, or a simple road trip together, those moments allow us to reconnect, recharge, and be fully present with one another. Traveling has given us perspective, inspiration, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of connection—something we carry with us into everything we do at Village Green.
As for me, once I found this calling, I immersed myself fully. I studied every aspect of dementia care, leadership, and how to support those who may not always have a voice. My goal has always been to ensure that our teams are led with direction, passion, and—above all—love.
Village Green, to us, is not a business. It is home. Every resident we have had the honor to love and care for becomes part of our family. I was led here during one of the most difficult times in my life, and somehow, this work became my anchor, my rock, my purpose, and my peace.
I love being with our residents. I love singing with them (though dancing is not my strength!), sitting with them for hours, listening to their stories, their memories, and their realities. I’ve gone treasure hunting with them and won millions in their lottery worlds—and I wouldn’t change a single moment of it.
We often wish we could change the course of this disease. We wish we could do more, reach more, and one day, find a cure. But until that day comes, we will continue to care, to love, and to laugh with every person entrusted to us.
We are deeply humbled and grateful to be on this journey.
And a final, heartfelt note to all of our beautiful residents who are now free from this disease—you will always be a part of us. We will always remember you, and we will always love you… until we meet again.
