Kelly Kleinbrahm

Senior Lifestyle Counselor

Our Senior Lifestyle Counselor, Kelly Kleinbrahm, made a transition into senior living from the world of hospitality and hotel management.  She is passionate about ensuring our seniors receive quality care and compassionate service that meets them where they are.  Kelly enjoys meeting the families, friends, and loved ones of our residents – it takes a village.  Learning about everyone’s unique history and stories in order to help them find others in their new home to meet and socialize with is paramount to a successful transition in her opinion.  While originally a native of New Jersey, she has lived in North Carolina since 2013 and embraced many of the local communities; she currently resides in Hillsborough.  When she is not in the community she is spending time with her two sons enjoying all of the beautiful trails and parks that this town has to offer.
