As you probably know I moved to Vancouver, Washington in May. After 3 long months of looking for a job, I\u00a0was\u00a0hired\u00a0at The Quarry Senior Living Center. I am the Life Enrichment Coordinator in the Assisted Living section overseeing about 80 residents. Most of them have Dementia.\u00a0This facility is 5.5 years old and so it\u00a0offers the newest and &#8220;latest&#8221; for the residents.\u00a0It accommodates Independent Living, Assisted Living, and an\u00a0Extensive Care Unit\u00a0(mostly for\u00a0Parkinson&#8217;s and\u00a0Alzheimer&#8217;s residents).\u00a0\u00a0My Gerontology certification and Family Studies degree have been extremely beneficial with this job so far and I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for you two! \u00a0 I hope both of you are doing well! I miss you guys and your wives! I will be home for a little bit over Christmas so I look forward to saying Hi at church! ~Kelsey Hancock<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Kelsey is the daughter of Randy and Kim Hancock.
