Edgemere senior living community recently hosted a special event that welcomed former Dallas resident and political powerhouse, Karen Hughes. Hughes, who has served many prestigious roles in her political career, both local and national, made a visit to Edgemere to speak about her time and experience working in the White House. More than 100 residents and guests filled the presentation room, including Hughes’ mother, who is a resident at Edgemere.

“Everyone at Edgemere has been looking forward to hearing Mrs. Hughes speak for quite some time,” said Tori Mallad, director of sales and marketing at Edgemere. “Karen Hughes is such a well-respected woman in the state of Texas, and Edgemere is always honored to have her visit our community.”

Hughes has served as a key communications strategist for former President George W. Bush during his terms as both governor of Texas and president. From 2001 to 2002, Hughes served as counselor to President George W. Bush, acting as the president’s strategic advisor on policy and communications. In 2005, she began her role as under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, which allowed her to travel throughout the world, building and maintaining relationships with other countries. In 2008, with a desire to return to Texas, Hughes began a new position as global vice chair for the PR firm Burson-Marsteller, where she consults on a variety of issues.

With 304 independent living apartment homes, 60 assisted living suites, 31 memory care private apartments, and 72 private rooms for dignified skilled nursing, Edgemere is the largest and most comprehensive life care senior living community in Dallas. The community is located in the Preston Hollow/Park Cities area at 8523 Thackery Street at Northwest Highway, Dallas, Texas 75225. The Plaza Health Services at Edgemere located on the same campus at 8502 Edgemere Road at Northwest Highway, offers assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory support services for Edgemere life care residents, as well as for others in the community.
