Senior Living Advisor, Serving: San Diego

About Kathleen

Kathleen, known in her last position as "Irish Kathleen", was the lead manager for more than five years where she not only worked, but also lived her job. Those five years taught Kathleen a lot about how seniors view their golden years. Her relationships with her residents were often as close as a parent and daughter. She thinks the best part of her job was watching the seniors transform over the first two months of living in their new home. It was then that they met new friends, were be able to talk to those who understand their health issues, and have on-going discussions with peers. Her intimate knowledge of seniors makes her an ideal advisor to help your family take the next step into senior living.

What I'm passionate about:

My passion is helping seniors move to the next phase of their lives and watching them transform once they decided to take the leap into a senior living community.

A Note From Kathleen

"I love watching the lives of seniors evolve once they move into a senior living community. Their increased energy, improved health, and zest for life are evident as they are re-ignited; something that they did not expect at this later stage of their lives. This makes me smile."
