Management Team
Natasha Dalton | General Manager
Natasha’s love of working with seniors started while growing up in her close-knit, Newfoundland hometown–Harbour Main. Natasha’s mom had devoted her life to the care and companionship of seniors which inspired Natasha to continue down same path with the same passion and commitment over the last 20 years.
Natasha started her career as a PCA (Personal Care Attendant) while attending university. The fulfillment of this position led her to continue her studies at the Center for Nursing where she completed a Licensed Practical Nursing diploma. Since then she has devoted her heart and soul to geriatric care in both the private and public health care settings – mastering her clinical skills and building strong relationships with provincial health authorities, her colleagues and the residents and families she has served. Most recently, she joins Westbury Estates with 5 years director level experience as head of Nursing in her previous role at a large personal care home in St. John's.
When not working Natasha can be found enjoying time with her family outdoors on the local trails and parks.
Natasha is eager to continue her excellence in leadership to ensuring that our seniors are at the very core of everything we do.
