About

John grew up in Central Massachusetts and enlisted in the Air Force after high school, serving six and a half years in the Air National Guard. He developed leadership and organizational skills as a medic and was named "Airman of the Year" in 1989. His military service also allowed him to begin a civilian career at Comcast in 1986, where he held various management roles for nearly 24 years.

In 2000, John and his spouse moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where they launched Beach Gourmet, a successful catering business. What started as a weekend venture quickly became the most sought-after catering service on Cape Ann, leading to deeper community involvement.

In 2009, after taking on the responsibility of caring for his aging mother-in-law, John transitioned into the senior living industry. He joined Atria Senior Living as a Sales Director in 2014 and later moved to Northbridge Senior Living in 2015. Over the next nine years, he held multiple leadership positions, including Senior Executive Director overseeing the opening of The Mariner, an 87-apartment senior living community in Marblehead. In 2018, he was named Executive Director of the Year by the Massachusetts Assisted Living Association.

Currently, John serves as Executive Director at The Delaney at The Vale in Woburn, where he continues to apply his leadership expertise. He is married with adult sons, five grandchildren and his two Labradors, Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire. John enjoys walking the beach, exercising, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Jackie brings a wealth of diverse experiences to her role as Director of Sales & Marketing. With a background spanning technology sales management, entrepreneurship, and senior living community leadership, Jackie’s journey reflects her dynamic approach to life and work.
Originally from the South Shore, and a graduate of St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH, Jackie’s professional path has included various roles in technology sales management, where she honed her skills in relationship-building and strategic planning. Her entrepreneurial spirit also led her to own and operate a thriving dance studio in New Hampshire for a decade. Through this venture, Jackie not only fostered a love for dance but also cultivated a strong sense of community.

After raising her family in southern New Hampshire, Jackie moved to Florida, where she discovered her passion for senior living through her own experiences with her mother. Her time in Florida enriched her professional expertise and allowed her to immerse herself in the vibrant culture of senior living as a Sales Director for a national company. When she learned of a property acquisition in New England, Jackie made the proactive decision to relocate once again—this time to open a new community and promote the benefits of senior living in her native region. Her dedication to fostering strong connections and promoting a vibrant community inspired her to embrace this opportunity wholeheartedly.
As Director of Sales & Marketing at The Delaney at the Vale, Jackie is committed to creating meaningful connections and enhancing the lives of residents in the heart of New England. With her extensive background in sales management, entrepreneurship, and senior living, Jackie Lemoine embodies resilience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for community building.

Now back in New England with her three beloved dogs, Jackie balances her professional responsibilities with her passion for teaching tap dance classes. Her commitment to enriching the lives of others extends beyond the workplace, as she finds joy in sharing her love of dance with her community.
