Juniper Communities is proud to
announce the appointment of Katie Karp as Director of Community Relations for Juniper
Village - The Spearly Center in Denver, CO. In her role she will be in charge
of admitting new residents, developing relationships with case managers and
referral sources, and educating the community about what Spearly does and why.
“I hope to be able to continue to
educate the community about mental illness and be part of the change of greater
awareness and acceptance,” said Katie Karp. “I have worked in a long-term care
living facility but never this type of setting. It has been an eye-opener for
me and I am humbled. I hope to be able to make a difference in our residents’
lives.”
Juniper Village - The Spearly Center
is home to approximately 135 residents and 130 professionals dedicated to
providing person-centered, skilled nursing care in a therapeutic community.
Those living at The Spearly Center are primarily individuals living with
chronic mental illness, brain injuries, or neurological disorders.
“I am very fortunate to become part
of Juniper Communities. The Juniper philosophy and passion for serving others
is reflected in our founder and CEO Lynne Katzmann, to the Spearly
Administrator Susan Pappas, to the rest of the Spearly team. I am looking
forward to growing in my role and making a difference in what we do as
caregivers,” expressed Karp.
Katie Karp attended Northeastern
University. She feels blessed to be able to be in Denver with her husband of 18
years and their two wonderful boys, Erik
and Alexander.
