Day-to-day stewardship
The Board sets policy and direction. The management team — three accomplished senior-living professionals — runs operations across both communities, working under the Board's oversight and in partnership with Transforming Age.
President & CEO · Transforming Age
A career senior-living executive with more than seventeen years of leadership across the field, Torsten has served as President & CEO of Transforming Age since 2014 — during which time the organization has grown from three communities to more than fifty-five nationwide. He holds an MBA and a BBA from Southern Oregon University and an additional bachelor's in International Tourism Studies from Hochschule Harz in Germany. Earlier in his career he held executive positions at Oakmont Senior Living and Pacific Retirement Services, where he led the startup, operations, and management of multiple continuing care retirement communities. He brings to the OFHC communities the rare combination of operational depth, strategic vision, and unwavering mission orientation.
Executive Director · Saratoga Retirement Community
Sarah leads day-to-day operations at the Order's flagship campus, a thirty-seven-acre Mediterranean community at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains. She brings a deep background in senior-living operations to the role, with prior service as Regional Director and Divisional Director of Operations at Westmont Living, and as an Executive Director at Atria Senior Living. Sarah is currently leading Saratoga through its largest investment in modern memory — a $101.7 million Master Plan expansion that will modernize the historic campus for the next generation of residents while preserving the character that has made it beloved for more than a century.
Executive Director · The Meadows of Napa Valley
Promoted to Executive Director in September 2025, Kristi brings nearly fifteen years of experience in senior-living operations to the role, all of it within the Pacific Retirement Services and now Transforming Age family. She began her career in 2011 with PRS's Community Volunteer Network in Medford, Oregon, served as Project Manager at Trinity Terrace in Fort Worth, and joined The Meadows in 2018 — most recently as Health Services Administrator from 2019 through her promotion. She holds an MBA and is dually licensed as a Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) and a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) Administrator — exactly the credential set our community requires.
Our operating partner
A national 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1956, Transforming Age is one of the most experienced senior-living organizations in the United States — and the right partner for the next chapter of the OFHC story.
Transforming Age's mission — to "create unlimited possibilities to enhance the lives of older adults by integrating housing, community services, technology, philanthropy, and partnerships" — aligns naturally with our own. The organization operates more than fifty-five communities across the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, sponsors and preserves nearly six thousand units of affordable housing, and has earned national Great Place to Work® certification for its Culture of Excellence©.
For the OFHC Board, the move to a Transforming Age operating relationship in 2025 reflected a careful judgment: the long-term care of our residents — and the continued vitality of our two communities — requires a steward of comparable longevity, scale, and mission orientation. Transforming Age fits that description. Its seventy-year history, its national footprint, and its consistent reinvestment in the communities it serves give us confidence that Saratoga and the Meadows will continue to thrive for another fifteen, fifty, and one hundred years.

How the Board is constituted
The OFHC Board of Directors consists of fifteen voting members. Pursuant to the OFHC Bylaws found in the California IOOF Code of Laws (Chapter XXIV: Homes, Camps, Housing), the Board comprises:
California law also requires each community to send a non-voting resident representative to board meetings. A full Board meeting therefore consists of seventeen directors — fifteen with voting rights and two without. Of the fifteen voting directors, a minimum of eight (a majority) must be members of the Order; typically nine are.
Per the Bylaws (Chapter XXIV, Article V, §5.3(4)), each Odd Fellow and Rebekah director must have "managerial experience in business or experience in the Health Care Field." Each at-large director must have "experience from the professional sector, i.e., legal, accounting, medical, or financial."
