OUR TEAM
Christa Means
Founder / Operator
Christa has a passion for helping others. She was drawn to the world of residential assisted living after watching her sister and mother, a hospice nurse, take care of multiple family members in their home.
She earned a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Dallas and attended The Ohio State University for graduate studies in Statistics. Although her education led her to a 17-year career in compliance and risk management at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, she also has successfully built, managed, and sold a real estate portfolio. She is now using her lifelong experiences to provide safe, comfortable, luxury homes with the highest level of loving care, to residents and families in need.
Christa resides in DFW with her husband Ryan, and five children.
