May 14, 2020
BONITA SPRINGS, FL–Discovery Senior Living has named Jeff Floyd the company’s new Vice President of Operations. An experienced industry leader, Floyd joins Discovery Senior Living after serving the past five (5) years at Chicago-based Enlivant, where he held a divisional
role as Senior Vice President of Operations. The move is intended to support Discovery Senior Living’s continued portfolio growth, as well as the enhancement of the company’s lifestyle and care services for residents as part of its new, “Experiential Living” philosophy.
Floyd began his career at ManorCare, where he ascended to become a regional and then national Vice President before serving multiple, prominent senior living providers in a variety of key leadership roles. Most recently, Floyd was responsible for leading nine (9) regional teams at Enlivant, which together managed 105 communities. Throughout his tenure, he helped engineer an impressive turnaround, growing his division from 62% to 89% occupancy.

“I am delighted to join Discovery Senior Living, a company with a long history and reputation for achieving excellence in the industry,” said Floyd. “Together, we’ll continue working to navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19 and will emerge more unified and better prepared to ensure the health and well-being of our residents and team members in the future.”
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Discovery Senior Living has aggressively implemented Enhanced Operational Protocols and was among the first providers in the industry to offer voluntary testing for all residents and team members. Floyd will be overseeing operations for the company’s fast-growing community portfolio, which currently consists of 62 communities across 14 states.
