Chris Johnson is the Executive Director at Emerson South Collins, where he brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for senior living. With a Bachelor of Science in Business from the University of the State of New York and a certification as an Assisted Living Manager, Chris has built a diverse career that spans finance, technology, real estate, and healthcare.
His journey into senior living began with a personal mission—after seeing his grandfather in a nursing home, he knew he could make a difference. That drive led him to become a Licensed Nursing Facility Administrator, and over the past 16 years, he has dedicated himself to enriching the lives of seniors in long-term care, home health, hospice, and now independent and assisted living.
Chris thrives on building strong, successful teams and creating an environment where residents and staff feel valued. He believes in open, honest communication and the power of small, meaningful moments to brighten someone’s day. When he’s not at work, you might find him traveling, playing golf or chess, or simply enjoying time with his fiancée and their shared pets.
At Emerson South Collins, Chris is committed to making every day better for residents, families, and staff alike.

Sharon joined Emerson South Collins in February 2024, bringing a lifelong passion for senior care and years of hands-on experience. Sharon began her journey in the senior living industry at just 16, working as an Activity Assistant in Memory Care.

Her career has included roles such as Admissions Coordinator in skilled nursing and memory care, giving her a well-rounded perspective on helping seniors transition into their next chapter of life.
