Assisted Living by Unlimited Care Cottages promotes Marlene Wanjala to Director of Quality and Training

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Marlene N. Wanjala has recently been promoted to Director of Quality and Training at Assisted Living by Unlimited Care Cottages.

She previously held the position of Care Partner for the last three years and joined the company seven years ago in 2011.

Wanjala received a bachelor’s degree in management from Park University in Austin.

She has earned professional certifications in Gerontology and End of Life Care from Houston Community College.

She is now responsible for providing consistent training among all care partners within the caregiving business.

Assisted Living by Unlimited Care Cottages was founded in 1998 by co-owners Buck and Terri Buckholtz.

Today, their caregiving business has seven assisted living and memory care personal cottages in The Woodlands and Spring areas.

Each cottage offers a unique, cozy, home-like alternative to larger, more traditional assisted living communities or nursing homes for families in need of care for an aging parent or relative.

Staffed 24/7 by full-time, live-in care partners, the cottages boast a high staff-to-resident ratio for the caregiving industry.

Private and companion rooms are offered for residents whose needs range from minimum to maximum care with assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication reminders.

Transitional care for elderly patients who need extra help after a lengthy stay in the hospital or a rehabilitation center, as well as temporary respite care is also offered as space is available.

Cottage residents enjoy home-cooked meals in the kitchen and sitting out on the front and back porch.

They can also participate in activities, such as music therapy, and they have access to volunteer services, house call physician services, hospice, and home health services.

Other services, such as hair and nail care, are also provided for the residents.

“We are very proud to announce the promotion of Marlene,” said Buck Buckholtz. “She has been a loyal member of our care team and has worked hard to improve her professional education and skills throughout her tenure with us. In her new and expanded role, she is continuing to make a difference in the lives of residents we serve each day. Our philosophy is to take care of the people who take care of our people.”
