“Life, love, and legacy” are the pillars of the Renaissance Marquis. They inspire their staff to work towards greater heights for their community, always in effort to better the lives of their residents and their families. With the addition of five new administrative team members, the Renaissance continues to build a legacy of love, support, and care.
Catie Mason
Catie Mason is being promoted to Executive Director.
Catie is married to Doug Mason, and they have two children. They live on a farm that’s been in her family for over 150 years, and they have a dog, three cats, and chickens.
Catie’s initial working relationship with the Renaissance was through one of their residents. When she first delved into the field of health care, she knew working in a hospital wasn’t the right fit for her and opted for a sitting company instead. She was assigned to care for a resident from the Renaissance Marquis. During their work together, the Renaissance finished developing their memory care facility and Catie decided to apply for a position there.
She has been at the Renaissance for thirteen years, taking on positions as a caregiver, the resident care director, and now executive director. Her favorite part of her work is learning about the residents and hearing about their experiences. The residents inspire Catie to aim for greater heights in
her work with them—in some cases, quite literally.
In her interview, Catie shared a story of how she and her coworker
arranged a flight for one of their residents. But this was not a run-of-the-mill flight. The resident they arranged the flight for was a fighter pilot in the second World War.
During his time at the Renaissance, he has told Catie stories about his
P-51 flights, which unfortunately ended when he was shot down and taken as a prisoner of war. Catie and her coworker commemorated his service and his love of flight by arranging a P-51 to come to Rome. “Being able to bring
a plane like this to Rome so he could see and hear it fly again was one of the best moments in my life,” Catie says. She even had the chance to fly in the plane herself.
“We have some incredible residents with amazing stories. I love to hear about their life and all of their experiences.”
Britni Bagwell
Britni Bagwell is being promoted to Resident Services Director.
Britni is also a loving wife and a mother of three “boys that are [her] pride and joy.” She sings in her church’s choir, loves to play bingo, and her favorite food is Mexican food.
Being a caregiver is a part of who Britni is. She first recognized that when she was a child, playing a “little mama” for her siblings and cousins. Now, at the Renaissance Marquis, she fuels that same care into her relationships with her residents.
Britni joined the community’s team in her senior year of high school, at the recommendation of her CNA teacher. An old soul herself, retirement care was an easy choice: “The older population will always have my heart.” She has been with the Renaissance Marquis for 12 years coming up on 13, and during her time there, she earned a certification as an LPN. She is currently working toward her certification as an RN.
Starting as a caregiver, she has taken on roles as the activities director, the memory care unit director, and now, the resident care director. Her time at the Renaissance Marquis extends beyond her work, though; Britni has also found comfort in the faith-based, loving community of her coworkers and
the residents, who have returned all the kindness and support she has given them.
“Renaissance is my home away from home and I am blessed beyond measure. I thank GOD for all of my many blessings in life.”
Qurbe Moore
Qurbe Moore is being promoted to Harbor Resident Service Director.
First inspired by her mother and grandmother, who are both nurses themselves, Qurbe knew she wanted to be a nurse her whole life. Her first step was becoming a CNA in her twenties, which is also when she discovered
her passion for care in the aging community.
Since 2017, she has worked as a caregiver, the lead caregiver of the harbor, and now the harbor resident service director. Providing care to the residents and their families is one of her greatest joys. Her work is only made better by the residents she gets to care for: “What I enjoy about working at Renaissance is our residents. They are always so jovial and smiling and make my day brighter!”
Qurbe is a Rome, Georgia native. In addition to her work, she has continued her studies in nursing and acts as a stay-at-home mom to her five children. She shares a wonderful life with them and with her husband, Nicholas. Outside of her work, she loves to travel with her family.
Savannah Jones
Savannah Jones is joining the Renaissance Marquis as Director of Marketing and Sales, where she will be working alongside Director Cyndi Brannon.
Savannah is engaged to Jonathan Cordell and has one son and two
goldendoodles. Outside of her work in senior living, she also runs a lemonade truck. She enjoys spending time with her family and shopping at Hobby Lobby.
Savannah is a new member of the Renaissance Marquis administrative team, beginning on July 14th, 2025. However, she is not new to senior living care. Over the last twelve years, Savannah has worked as a caregiver, an office manager, a memory care manager, a sales and marketing associate, and now a director of sales and marketing.
As she becomes a part of the Renaissance community, she is grateful she’s
been “blessed enough to meet all of the amazing residents [she’s] had over the years and” had the chance to listen “to their life stories, as [she’s] learned a lot from several of them that [she] will forever cherish.”
Her former residents have instilled her with a love for her work and for the connection she has with residents and coworkers, which she has carried into her new position at the Renaissance.
Since she arrived, the residents and staff of the Renaissance Marquis have
welcomed her with open arms. Connecting with them and helping new residents do the same is her favorite part of her job.
Ty Calhoun
Ty Calhoun is joining the Renaissance Marquis as Maintenance Director.
Ty is the newest member of the administrative team, beginning on September 12, 2025. His work as a maintenance director is, in many ways, the culmination of his career interests. From a young age, Ty has been interested in the impact healthcare systems have on society and the work that goes into everyday utilities. Ty first noticed the impact “healthcare positions are to a community” when he was a child visiting these facilities.
Beyond the impact of the staff themselves, he also had a curiosity for the
process of building and repairing everyday utilities and began to experiment
with these processes when he was young. His interests allowed him to adopt a variety of skills in “the fundamentals of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.” He eventually took on these skills in a professional capacity, which developed his curiosity about the field of maintenance into a passion for leadership, organization, and problem-solving. Going back to his interest in
healthcare systems, he decided they would be the optimal settings to bring his services to.
Ty has quickly established meaningful relationships with the residents and his fellow staff members at the Renaissance Marquis. It has given him a great opportunity to “fulfill [his] aspiration of providing effective leadership in a stable work environment” and to be a part of the impact he first appreciated in the healthcare community.
“My favorite experience is by far the satisfaction of being the hero in
someone’s story whether it be a blown light bulb or just being a listening
ear, I gain satisfaction knowing that I can brighten residents’ day by communicating or providing a solution to their needs to make their living environment less stressful.”
Ty was born and raised in Rome, Georgia. In addition to his work in facilities maintenance, he has also worked in manufacturing operating, troubleshooting machinery, and preventative maintenance of various systems. He enjoys the hands-on, fast-paced, multitasking nature of his work; moreover, he loves helping people by “providing solutions to troublesome events.”
The Renaissance Marquis is thrilled to commemorate the work of their new administrative team. As they take the Renaissance Marquis to new heights, they will continue fostering a community of “love, life, and legacy.”
