Senior Living in Versailles

“Being a part of the Daisy Hill family is truly a gift and an opportunity that I am blessed to receive. Being able to share my passion, and experience the opportunity to touch other lives on a daily basis is a blessing.”

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 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 realized that Senior Care using the Best Friends Approach ™ was her passion and continued to build upon her professional experience. She learned so much from the individuals who didn’t remember the date or what they ate 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.

Laurie encourages caregivers to focus on the big picture by looking beyond the dementia diagnoses and physical disabilities to see the person underneath. 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 3 children.

I am so excited to accept the Clinical Director role at Pathway Memory Care and to lead our excellent staff in giving the best possible care to our residents and their families.

I have been a part of the Daisy Hill Family on and off for many years, with conversations during those years about our dream of having a memory care unit. 

Fast forward to 2021 and we were ready to make a dream come true! 

Dementia care has always been my passion and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your family. 

“I love working here because of the residents and my coworkers– it feels like Family!!”

“Working at Daisy Hill is a great blessing in my life. I love hearing the stories of the residents’ lives, and I am blessed to be a part of the care team. Their history is fascinating to me. Through conversations and spending time together, I gain glimpses into the hearts and minds of all who live here. These experiences open doors to new ways I can love and serve those on the Hill. I am deeply thankful God led me here.”

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 3 children, Tristan, Caleb, and Abigail.

After 6 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.

“Working with seniors is an honor in itself. I have a big heart for serving and helping those in need and being able to do that every day is truly astounding.”

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.

Eric joined our Daisy Hill family in February 2018. Eric and his wife, Autumn, live in Versailles and have 4 children. Eric enjoys playing the drums and is a member of the band, “Happy Accident;” they play locally and even have performed for our residents! He also plays for his church congregation and is a talented artist. Eric has served his community as an EMT and also in the city of Versailles fire department. Eric brings a wealth of talent and compassion to our community and is happy to serve others.
