I’m Linda Guimond, the Life Enrichment Coordinator here at Wildcat. I had more than 30 years of customer service experience during my career, including several positions in banking. I worked with my father for three years before he passed. Interacting with therapists I realized that I wanted to pursue the chance to work with other seniors. Outside of work I devote my time on the worship leadership team with my church, coordinating various activities.I have been married to my husband Mike for 40 years. We have 2 children and 1 grandchild. I enjoy spending time together with my family bike riding, traveling and playing games.

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to interact with our residents through games, crafts and acting silly. The smiles and laughter that I encounter every day are priceless. The residents have so much love and care for each other that it makes each day more special than the day before.
