Kim Brown from Wesley Ridge
“Beyond her recipes, it is Kim’s spirit that sets her apart. She taught herself to use new technology without being asked, took on more responsibility because she wanted to help, and stepped in to mentor younger associates when they needed guidance. She’s affectionately known as “the team mom,” not because she’s the oldest, but because she’s the one everyone trusts.” READ MORE

Whether it is a resident struggling with fear, a new team member trying to find their footing, or a family navigating difficult decisions, Robin responds with patience, wisdom, and unwavering presence.” READ MORE
