Kim has been in the nursing field for 33 years. She knew at an early age working with seniors was her calling. We are so happy to have her as a part of our Evergreen Senior Living family.
Amy Thompson graduated from Bradley University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in management & leadership and social media marketing. Amy currently lives in Chillicothe with her fiancé Justin and their rescue cats, Spirit and Elina, and their dog, Asher. In her free time, she enjoys gardening, hiking, and traveling when possible.
Tina was an activity director for 3 years in long-term care facilities before joining our team as our Life Enrichment Coordinator. She has always been a creative person who wanted her job to positively impact people’s lives in some way. When she began her first Activity Director job after college at Graham Hospital in Canton she knew she had found her lifelong passion. Working with seniors and having her job be to make them smile and have fun has been the most rewarding thing she’s ever done. It’s also a perk that she gets to include all her hobbies in her activity programs. Not only are the residents having fun baking, playing games, and making crafts, but she is too! She has a 9-year-old rescue dog named Wally, a 10-year-old rescue cat named Nutmeg, a stray cat that wandered into her home, and her heart, named Max, and a 3-year-old ornery chinchilla named Luna.
Tawni Lewis is our Wellness Coordinator for Evergreen Senior Living. She has worked with seniors since she was 17yrs old, volunteering in activities at the age of 13 at the County nursing home! She then became a Certified Nursing assistant for 15yrs and became a nurse in 2009. She looks forward to the new adventures in Assisted Living and getting to know all of the amazing residents at Evergreen Senior Living. In her free time, she keeps busy with her 4 children and new grandbaby (with another on the way!) She also enjoys playing pool competitively , reading and camping.
