Steven Bae | VP of Organizational Development
Steven has been dedicated to the senior housing and healthcare industry since 1999, when he began his career as a Certified Nurse’s Aide at Heart of the Valley Nursing Home in Corvallis. His early hands-on experience in caregiving inspired him to shift his academic focus from Forestry to Healthcare Administration while attending Oregon State University. Upon graduation, Steven joined Sunwest Management, Inc., leading sales and marketing efforts for a newly opened senior living community. In 2003, he transitioned to Sunwest’s corporate office as a financial accountant, where he managed profit and loss statements, budgeting, bank reconciliations, and financial analysis for multiple properties. His expertise expanded into development and acquisitions, preparing market studies, overseeing pre-development activities, and securing financing for new projects. Additionally, he gained invaluable operational experience serving as the Administrator for three different assisted living and memory care communities. Steven holds a degree in Healthcare Administration with a minor in Business Management from Oregon State University. Over the years, he has maintained Administrator Certifications in Washington, New Mexico, Hawaii, California, and Oregon. Now, as part of Seasons Living, Steven plays a key role in providing operational support across the organization.
