Meet Our Team – Eskaton Monroe Lodge
Tristin Benjamin
Executive Director
Tristin Benjamin is the executive director of Eskaton Monroe
Lodge and has been with the Eskaton family for 15
years. Before joining the Eskaton Monroe Lodge team in
2012, she worked as the resident services director at Eskaton
Village Carmichael. Having grown up around the industry (both
parents were professionals in senior services), entering the
field was a natural progression for Tristin. She obtained her
RCFE Administrator certification in 2006 and retains that
credentialing so she can help out whenever and wherever she’s
needed. Outside of work, she enjoys “glamping” with her
family, exploring nature and watching her children’s
competitive soccer and basketball games. For Tristin, the most
rewarding aspect of her role is working alongside her team and
residents to make a positive difference in each other’s daily
lives.
