Hargett named executive director of Baptist Retirement Community
Buckner Retirement Services named Aaron Hargett as executive director of Baptist Retirement Community, effective Sept. 1.
Hargett has served Baptist Retirement since 2007, first as administrator of home health and hospice and then as director of independent living. As executive director, he will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations and future direction of the nonprofit senior living community.
“I am thrilled to bring Aaron onto our executive leadership team,” said Charlie Wilson, senior vice president of Buckner Retirement Services. “Over the last 10 years, we’ve seen that he is servant-hearted, passion-driven and more than capable of managing such a large community. There’s really no one better for the job.”
Baptist Retirement Community is a thriving 100-acre senior living community located in the heart of West Texas’ Concho Valley. Home to more than 500 senior adults, the Life Plan community offers a full continuum of living and care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term and skilled nursing.
Hargett comes to the executive director position with nearly 30 years of experience in medical and social services, including director of San Angelo’s Shannon Rehab Center. He is active in the San Angelo community and currently serves on the board of the Rotary Club of San Angelo. Hargett earned both his bachelor’s degree in psychology and his master’s in clinical psychology from Angelo State University.
Hargett thanked leadership from Buckner International, Buckner Retirement Services and Baptist Memorials Ministries for the opportunity to continue serving West Texas senior adults through life-enriching programs and expert health care.
“The staff and residents here at Baptist Retirement have become like family,” Hargett said. “I’m grateful to be part of their lives and look forward to growing this community into San Angelo’s leading senior living provider.”
