Life Care Services (LCS), a national senior living operator based in Des Moines, has promoted Dan Lahey to executive vice president and chief financial and investment officer, effective Jan. 1. Lahey, who joined LCS as an accounting manager in 2008, will direct all financial and real estate operations for the organization. The promotion comes alongside current chief financial and investment officer Diane Bridgewater’s planned retirement. Bridgewater will remain with the company in the role of chief administrative and strategy officer until 2025 to oversee the transition. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to have an expanded leadership role at LCS as the senior living industry enters a time of unprecedented opportunity for growth,” Lahey said in a prepared statement. “I have benefited greatly from the leadership and guidance from so many individuals who have invested in me over the years, and I feel confident that LCS is ready for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead of us.”
