Kaylee is a resident of Dayville, CT and a proud graduate of Killingly High School’s class of 2016. She is certified in CPR and general first-aid; having previously worked as a personal care assistant in clients’ homes with a local home health provider. Kaylee’s compassion for working with seniors is rooted even deeper in her own history, as she spent many hours volunteering at nursing homes around Windham County since she was a young girl. She loves to spend time around her family, gathering with her mother, Jenn, and father, Joseph whenever possible. Kaylee makes a point to visit her grandmother Eunice on the weekends, and she delights in the daily interactions of living with her boyfriend Andrew. Kaylee is also a proud pet-parent to two hamsters, Riley and Sweet Pea, and her beloved dog Finn.

In her own life, Kaylee likes cooking and baking; this passion surely giving her even more knowledge about the cuisine at Westview Commons. She enjoys a good afternoon outdoors, whether spent relaxing on a beach or hiking through the woods. Kaylee states that she “loves to clean” and she finds many housekeeping tasks to be calming and enjoyable. Her dedicated, friendly approach to her role at Westview Commons is genuine, and her passion is verified through the comments she made as she received this award: “It’s truly an honor to be named Employee of the Month! In the past few months of working at Westview Commons, I have been lucky to meet and even befriend so many people that work and live here,” Kaylee remarked. “Seeing our residents happy makes me happy, and that gives me the motivation to do my best every day!”
