Feel Well, Live Well.

Welcome to the Eastcastle Place Ambassador Program

At Eastcastle Place, we understand that moving to a new home can be a significant life change. Whether you’re relocating to a new city or just moving down the street, it can feel overwhelming at first. That’s where our Resident Welcoming Ambassadors come in! They are warm, friendly, and supportive residents who have experienced this transition themselves and are eager to help you feel at home.
Our ambassadors play a key role in making sure new residents are welcomed with open arms and become fully integrated into the vibrant community here at Eastcastle Place. From introductions to neighbors to invitations to social events, our ambassadors are your go-to resource as you settle in.

Meet Our Lead Ambassador: Terri Sundberg

Terri Sundberg is a shining example of what makes our Ambassador Program so special. Growing up in northeastern Illinois, Terri’s career journey has taken her from working at Abbott Laboratories to traveling the world with her husband, Rudy. Along the way, she earned her CPA license and ran her own tax and small business practice before deciding to embrace the freedom of travel.
At Eastcastle Place, Terri brings her passion for gardening, genealogy, miniatures, and swimming to the community. She knows firsthand the importance of making new residents feel comfortable and connected, and she’s here to ensure you have the best experience possible as you settle in. Terri points back to the wonderful experience that she had working with the ambassadors and is proud to continue the tradition.

A Heartwarming Story from Evelyn Kessler

One of the true testaments to the Ambassador Program’s impact is the story of Evelyn Kessler. When Evelyn made the move from Virginia to Milwaukee, she was filled with both excitement and anxiety. She had heard great things about Eastcastle Place, but like many moves, things didn’t go exactly as planned. The construction of her new home in the Lake Terrace building experienced unexpected delays, and she found herself needing a temporary place to stay.

Although the situation was stressful and uncertain, Evelyn found incredible support from both the staff and fellow residents. The Eastcastle Place team went above and beyond to make sure she felt at ease during this transitional period, and the Ambassador Committee, in particular, was a lifeline for her. They reached out to Evelyn, offered companionship, and helped her adjust to her new surroundings. What was initially a challenging moment quickly turned into a heartwarming experience.

In fact, Evelyn was so moved by the kindness and support she received that she later joined the Ambassador Committee herself. Today, she actively helps other new residents transition into their new homes, just as she was helped when she first arrived.
