Hi! My name is Kim and I am a senior care expert and the Digital Marketing Director at Eden Senior Care. Moving into a senior living community or admitting to a facility for short-term rehab can be overwhelming to some seniors and family members.

I upload blog posts regularly and discuss topics like memory care and how to choose the right assisted living community for the senior in your life.
