With its Spanish Colonial architecture that calls to mind a modern hacienda, Crestavilla exudes an air of relaxed elegance, from the cascading fountain out front to Top of the World’s rooftop terrace, where members enjoy bespoke programming and expansive views.

Myra Aragones,
General Manager
Myra brings more than three decades of senior living and healthcare experience to Crestavilla. After immigrating from the Philippines at 18, she began her career as a licensed vocational nurse in 1988, later earning a business degree and rising through various resident-services and leadership positions.
She served as a senior executive director supporting 40 communities across the western U.S. before seeking a more balanced, hands-on role – first at Kisco’s Woodbridge Terrace community, then moving to Crestavilla in 2023. Her clinical background, operational expertise, and commitment to connecting with members allow Myra to lead with transparency, empathy, and an open-door approach.
“The most important thing to me is to listen to members and understand their needs and desires, which allows us to tailor our approach and ensure we are providing the best possible experience.”
