Wendell White

Founder

Wendell White is Generations Founder and current Chairman of the Board, providing support and guidance to its Leadership Team.

For Wendell, senior care was truly generational, as he grew up living at Parkview – a “rest home” operated by his grandparents. Wendell started his own business in 1965 and has been a pioneer of Senior Living on the West Coast, overseeing the development of more than 20 facilities in OR, WA and CA. Highlights of his 60+ years of leadership include the establishment of three groundbreaking, resort-style Village communities, founding Parkview Memory Care Centers in honor of his grandparents’ legacy, and developing Academy Village, a new, intergenerational community in Sacramento, California.
