Watch her introduction video and get to know the person guiding our team every day.

Lauren Cottman is not new to WindChime of Marin. She began her journey here as Resident Services Director and built lasting relationships with residents, families, and staff along the way. Now stepping into the role of Executive Director, Lauren returns with a broader perspective and a clear sense of purpose. Her background spans regulatory compliance, inclusive community culture, and staff development, all of which translate directly into the quality of life our residents experience. At a community dedicated exclusively to Alzheimer's care and dementia support, that kind of focused leadership matters enormously.

Every Staff Member Feels Motivated, Heard, and Empowered

What sets Lauren apart is her belief that great care starts with great people. She is committed to building a team where every staff member feels motivated, heard, and empowered to show up fully for the residents they serve. That philosophy flows naturally into WindChime's person-centered approach, where individualized attention is not just a program feature but a daily practice. Families who tour our Kentfield community consistently remark on the warmth they feel the moment they walk through the door, and Lauren is deeply invested in sustaining and strengthening that culture.

What Families Need

Lauren also understands the weight of the decisions families face when exploring senior care options. Whether a family is seeking long-term placement or short-term respite care support, she wants every interaction with WindChime to feel transparent, compassionate, and genuinely helpful. Her years in the field have given her a sharp appreciation for what families need to hear and when they need to hear it. That instinct for honest, caring communication is one of the many reasons she is the right leader for this community at this moment.

We invite you to watch Lauren's video introduction and see firsthand the passion and clarity she brings to her role. Whether you are just beginning your research or ready to schedule a tour, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
