Meet The Team

Executive Director

Abby Adams

Abby brings over a decade of experience in marketing, leasing, and customer service, with leadership roles ranging from General Branch Manager at Enterprise Rent-a-Car to Executive Director and Interim Regional VP at Holiday/Atria Retirement. With a heart for service shaped by the wisdom of her grandmothers, Abby joined MorningStar in April 2023, inspired by the organization’s genuine commitment to honoring and uplifting seniors. Her passion lies in creating moments that celebrate life, guided by the belief that we become our best selves through the lessons of those who came before us.

co-Director of Community Relations

Bailey Hanan

Bailey Hanan has been a part of the MorningStar family since June 2024. She joined that team first as a Community Relations Associate, and through hard work, dedication and a felt calling to serve seniors, she was promoted to Director of Community Relations. Throughout her time here she has been the embodiment of love and compassion to residents and team members alike. She is always there to lend a hand as a true servant-leader. Bailey has been a guardian light to our community, and we are blessed to have her as a brand ambassador to families and the Hillsboro market more broadly.

co-Director of Community Relations

Christian McFarland

Christian joined the MorningStar of Hillsboro team in 2026. His deep passion for building community and relationship-building drives his work every day. Over several years in senior living Christian has built a meaningful career as a Sales Manager and Director of Sales and Marketing before stepping into his current leadership role.

Christian’s approach to serving seniors is deeply personal. He truly loves what he does and believes that every resident is like an open book; he cherishes the opportunity to read a chapter when they first meet and follow up on the sequel through ongoing, meaningful conversations. For Christian, the most rewarding part of his work is creating these lasting connections and helping families navigate important transitions with care and empathy.

Trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Portland and with a decade of senior living culinary leadership, he’s passionate about elevating expectations in senior dining—serving meals with heart, dignity, and a touch of storytelling. For Nate, sharing a meal is about connection, and he believes the best dishes are those served with respect, humor, and a genuine appreciation for the lives behind every seat at the table.
