At Kisco Senior Living’s newest community in the DC area, The Fitzgerald of Palisades, hospitality and innovation come together under the leadership of Gia Aron. As Assistant General Manager, Aron brings over a decade of experience in hospitality and tourism, blending her expertise with a deep commitment to personalized care for seniors.
A Unique Approach to Senior Living
With a Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Administration and ongoing studies in Gerontology, Aron is passionate about fostering meaningful connections. Her philosophy is simple: it’s the people who make a place a home. “The amazing people are what make it a home,” she says, highlighting her focus on relationships rather than just facilities.
Under her guidance, hospitality seamlessly integrates with Kisco’s signature Kisco Confidence® care model—an integrated approach prioritizing safety, transparency, and well-being. Aron’s attention to detail and commitment to five-star service ensures that every resident feels valued, comfortable, and truly at home. “The 1% I looked forward to in hospitality is what I get to do 100% of the time at The Fitzgerald,” Aron reflects.
The “Welcome Home” Experience
One of Aron’s standout initiatives is The Fitzgerald’s Welcome Home onboarding program, which reimagines the moving process. Aron and her team handle every detail—from coordinating movers to connecting residents with downsizing experts—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. But it’s more than logistics; it’s about relationships. “Welcome Home is not just connection; it’s reconnection,” Aron explains, emphasizing how the program helps residents strengthen social bonds and rekindle friendships.
The Art of Living Well
At the heart of The Fitzgerald is The Art of Living Well, Kisco’s wellness philosophy rooted in nine dimensions of well-being that engage mind, body, and spirit. Aron leads the creation of tailored programs that reflect residents’ passions and interests.
From the Blooms & Brews craft social to the Red Carpet Speaker Series, these enriching events are carefully curated through thoughtful planning, local partnerships, and resident input. The result? A thriving, vibrant community where every day feels meaningful and engaging.
