Gina Pope Joins Legacy Village of Jacksonville as Executive Director
Jacksonville, Ala. (Feb. 2026) — Legacy Village of Jacksonville is pleased to welcome Gina Pope as Executive Director. With over 7 years of experience in the senior living industry, Pope brings with her a true passion for serving seniors, cultivating strong teams and providing a comfortable home for residents during their golden years.
Originally from Louisiana, Pope has lived and worked in several Southern States and has an equally diverse portfolio. Her career in Health Services Administration started when she began working at several correctional facilities in Florida. During this time, Pope also obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Administration and Management from Keiser University in Lakeland, Florida. Knowing that she wanted to transition into the senior living industry, Pope pursued the necessary certifications and took her first step into senior living in 2019. Since then, Pope has served as Executive Director, with the mission to provide compassionate leadership to ensure high-quality care to seniors in a safe and welcoming environment.
“I’m so thrilled to join such an amazing community. My aim is to foster a culture of dignity, accountability and person-centered care through clear communication and hands-on leadership,” states Pope. “To care for those who once cared for us is an honor that I don’t take for granted.”
“We are excited to welcome Gina to Legacy Village of Jacksonville,” says Becky Ballas, Regional Director of Operations of Legacy Senior Living. “Gina’s passion for dignified, resident-centered care will be a wonderful asset to our residents, families and team members.”
Pope and her husband of 30 years have three sons and four grandchildren who she absolutely adores. Now living close to her grandchildren, Pope values time spent with family and enjoys traveling with them whenever her schedule allows.
