The best part of it all? The people. They’re the heart of The Pinehills.
For Jean Malaquias, The Pinehills is more than a job—it’s an experience filled with connection, growth, and community. As a longtime greeter at the Summerhouse, Jean has welcomed visitors and shared her love for both The Pinehills and Plymouth, helping newcomers see what makes this place so special. What stands out most to her is the warmth of the people, from leadership who genuinely cares to colleagues who feel like family. She recalls the excitement of the early open houses, the confidence she gained answering questions, and the countless friendships made along the way. Jean has also witnessed the power of Pinehills hospitality—like the friend who hesitated to move here but now loves it. Since 2004, Jean has watched The Pinehills grow into a thriving, inclusive community where everyone, from residents to guests, feels welcome.
