My name is Terri Cichosz, and I am the Marketing Director at The Lodge Retirement Community. I truly enjoy what I do and consider it a privilege to be part of such a caring and supportive community.

I live in Redmond and genuinely look forward to my drive to work each day. At The Lodge, our residents and team members feel like family. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and life's special milestones together, creating a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.

My daughter, Raelyn, and I moved to Central Oregon in 2002 from the Eugene-Springfield area, where I spent 18 years in management with Albertsons. Raelyn graduated as Valedictorian with honors from Redmond Proficiency Academy and earned a full-ride scholarship to the University of Oregon. Today, she is a proud homeowner in Redmond and has built a successful career with Deschutes Title Company. I couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments.

For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my career to serving others through caregiving. I also had the privilege of caring for my mother in my home for eight years until her passing. In addition, I have been a licensed Realtor for more than 30 years, providing guidance and support to individuals and families during some of life's most important transitions.

Central Oregon has been an incredible place to call home. Throughout the years, I have volunteered with Hospice, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce, and the American Red Cross. I am grateful to be part of a community that offers an exceptional quality of life, meaningful connections, and endless opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

Above all, I am thankful for the many blessings in my life. God is good.
