Meet the Team Behind Parker Place Living Centers
At Parker Place Living Centers, we are proud to introduce the dedicated professionals leading our mission to provide compassionate, specialized care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Heather Clement: A Leader with Heart and Expertise
Heather Clement, our owner and operator, brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role. With a Bachelor of Arts in Education, a Master of Science in Education, and a Master of Science in Behavioral Sciences, Heather has always been driven to help others. Her career began in the classroom, teaching kindergarten at Country Day School of Arlington, Texas. She later broadened her horizons as a pharmaceutical sales representative for McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson & Johnson Company.
Heather’s journey into long-term care began with her work in hospice and home health, where she developed a deep appreciation for supporting residents and staff in skilled nursing facilities. She pursued this passion by completing rigorous training through Administrators University (OSBELTCA) and the required Administrator-in-Training hours. By early 2020, Heather had gained hands-on experience in every department of a skilled facility. Her dedication paid off when she earned her Oklahoma Long-Term Care Administrator’s license, as well as national accreditation through the National Association of Long Term Care Administrators Boards.
To further support her future residents and team, Heather also became a Certified Nursing Aide (CNA), ensuring she could provide direct care when needed. She is CPR/AED certified, holds a Basic Life Support certification, and is a licensed food handler. Her ultimate goal? To create an environment where residents and staff feel valued, supported, and empowered.
Heather is an active member of Care Providers of Oklahoma, the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the American College of Health Care Administrators.
Dan Wigington: Decades of Dedication to Skilled Nursing Care
Co-owner Dan Wigington brings more than four decades of experience and a vision for excellence to Parker Place. Dan holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and a Master of Business Administration, along with the prestigious M.A.I. designation from The Appraisal Institute. Since 1979, he has been involved in appraising nursing facilities and working within the nursing home industry in both Oklahoma and Texas.
In the 1980s, Dan earned his long-term care administrator’s license in Oklahoma and co-constructed a skilled nursing facility in Wichita Falls, Texas. This “learning facility” supported nursing students while offering exceptional care to a mix of private pay, Medicaid, and Medicare residents.
A decade ago, while appraising a facility for residents with intellectual disabilities, Dan found his true calling. He decided that if he returned to the ownership of a skilled nursing facility, it would be one focused on providing compassionate care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Creation of Parker Place Living Centers
In 2019, Heather and Dan combined their expertise, passion, and commitment to create Parker Place Living Centers, LLC. This father-daughter duo worked tirelessly for over two years to bring their dream to life. Partnering with experienced architects and engineers, they designed a state-of-the-art Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF-IID) to meet the unique needs of this community.
