Juniper Village Rehabilitation and Skilled Care at Brookline is
pleased to introduce Kathleen Russell as its new Administrator. With a decade
of nursing home administrative experience, Kathy knew what she wanted to do at
an early age. While working in a nursing care community at the age of 18, she
overheard a resident being spoken to in an unkind manner by a staff member and
knew that it was fundamentally wrong. It was then that she knew she wanted to
find a way to make it right.
In 1996, she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in long-term
care administration; going on to receive her master’s degree in health care
administration with a minor in gerontology. With her passion for working with
the geriatric population, Kathy says that it was the Juniper Communities
philosophy of person-centered care and “nurturing the spirit of life” in all of
its seasons that drew her to the company.
Originally from Baltimore, Kathy currently lives in Huntingdon,
PA with her husband. She is the step-mother of three and enjoys spending time
with them and her husband’s six grandchildren. She is presently attending the
University of Phoenix, where she is working toward her doctoral degree in
health care administration.
