Our Family

Laurie Dorough

Executive Director

Laurie brings her extensive sales experience and passion for aging services to Daisy Hill as a local community member. She grew up in Versailles and is a 1994 Woodford County graduate. Laurie attended Eastern Kentucky University and graduated with a B.A. in Park and Recreation Therapy where she received her certificate in Therapeutic Recreation.

She began her career out of college with the Alzheimer’s Association, leading a dementia-specific adult day program and working in direct care and with the volunteers that supported the program’s activities. Laurie quickly realized Senior Care using the Best Friends Approach ™ was her passion and continued to build upon her professional experience. She learned so much from those individuals who maybe didn’t remember what day it was or what they had for breakfast, but had a wealth of lifelong knowledge and experience to share with others around them. Laurie shifted gears and began establishing family support groups and dementia care training in community care settings for the Association.

Seeing the big picture and lifting away any existing challenges such a diagnosis of dementia or any physical disability to find the person underneath is what Laurie always recognizes and encourages all caregivers to do daily. Meeting people more than halfway is Laurie’s goal, and helping them accomplish daily tasks is her gift.

Laurie and her husband, Jed, live locally in Versailles and have three children.

Tobi’s career has proven to be one of many facets. She was a Team Leader at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in her twenties before choosing to quit the workforce to raise her three children, Tristan, Caleb, and Abigail.

After six years at home, she returned to full-time work at her church, leading a team of 100 volunteers in their Children’s Ministry, where she remained until she joined our team in August 2016. Tobi is also passionate about natural wellness and has a successful part-time business helping others learn the same.

Jade Muniz

Dining Services Director

I was born in New Jersey, but have lived in Versailles most of my life. I have worked in the food service industry since I started working at the age of 14. I found my love for cooking when I became the owner of a Cafe in Lexington. I enjoy making people happy and the best way to do that is through food. I have been a part of Daisy Hill for just under 7 years and really enjoy the family atmosphere. I have a 2 ½ year old daughter who keeps me on my toes but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
