Kym’s expertise and thirst for maximizing love and respect for older adults while striving to improve their daily living has been all-consuming and her mission for over 10 years. This passion has been validated daily by seeing all those beautiful aging adults living happy, healthy lives to their fullest in their chosen environment.
Her knowledge and creativity has made her one of the most respected marketing professionals in the area of Senior Care in Los Angeles. With sustained occupancy of at least 94% between two established assisted living communities and a flagship Medicare only skilled nursing facility, Kym has proven herself a top producer. Cultivating new partnerships and realigning inactive or low-producing community resources has increased healthcare referrals by 58% excluding placement agencies.
When she’s not busy with her career, she enjoys her community involvement as a board member for the Greater Los Angeles Parkinson’s Disease Association, where she helped raise $326K. She averaged 45% growth annually in walkathon fund-raising as event chair since 2008. At home, you can find Kym volunteering at the local senior center or submerging herself in her church callings.
Kym has spent the last 6 years commuting in to the Beverly Hills and Hancock Park areas daily from her home in Simi Valley where she lives with her 20-year-old daughter. The 101 Freeway has won the ongoing challenge; she now spends most of her time assisting the elderly in the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County. Football, cooking and entertaining remain some of Kym’s favorite pastimes as well as jaunts to the beach in her convertible.
Consistent with her commitment to preserve the independence of older adults for as long as possible, she has helped hundreds of seniors and their families find a home where they could live out their lives with dignity and respect while building key healthcare partnerships throughout Los Angeles.

23. In 1994, my grandmother seemed that she might live
forever, gardening in the front yard by day and crocheting in
her ―Lazyboy‖ while listening to the television by night. She
used to take walks around the block with her dog every day
too. Lucky for us, she lived in the home for over 30 years
and had loving and caring neighbors that watched out for
her.
Confusion began to set in and it became more and more
apparent that she couldn’t be without some type of
supervision. My brother and mother relocated to Visalia
and moved in with her for the last ten years of her life,
assisting with the little things like housekeeping, going to
the grocery store and companionship as needed.
24. Our family knew nothing about incontinence,
forgetfulness, and/or dehydration. Grandma
began to go in and out of the hospital and her life-
long doctor began to suggest rather firmly that
other arrangements would need to be
considered. Returning home alone would not be
an option. Her doctor was very eager to place her
in a nursing home, which we could not imagine.
25. We had no idea what to do… There were so many
options out there for older adults and everything
seemed so overwhelming and confusing to work
through, so we counted on the doctors to guide us.
She begged and pleaded to return home with her dog
―Pepe‖ and do her gardening. What should we
do? She became combative and the nursing home
sent her back to the hospital where they then refused
to take her back! Now what?
Finally, we were able to place her in another nursing
home where she passed away in April of 2001 at the
age of 93.
26. 1. How much do we know about what our loved ones
really want or need to retain their life spirit?
2. Have we considered what gave them the most joy
while they were alive?
3. Were they social? Or did their joy come from
raising their family?
4. Was there ever a discussion about how they
wanted to approach the end of their life?
