Wellness Director
Hi, my name is Kathy. I have over ten years of experience in nursing. I am passionate about the care that I give my residents. My goal is to give the residents the best quality of life. My career includes primary care, public health, geriatrics. My heart has always pulled me toward geriatric care. I love to interact with my residents, putting a smile on their face makes me happy.

Tara Biles
Memory Care Coordinator
Hi I’m Tara Biles. I have been a nurse for almost 20 years with the majority of it spent in Assisted Living. My grandmother had always encouraged me to pursue nursing, and after her passing I did just that after working in childcare for 10 years. I quickly found nursing was my calling, and I genuinely love what I do.
Geriatrics has always been where my heart is at. I love not only caring for the residents under my care, but also the joy they bring to my daily life. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t smile and laugh with them. When I am not spending my time caring for the residents. I spend it with family. I have four grown children, and four amazing grandchildren that get most of my spare time. I enjoy my animals, reading, and kayaking in my spare time.
