As we grow older, the challenges associated with aging can sometimes lead to feelings of loss, sadness, and loneliness.

But there’s growing evidence to show that by cultivating a positive outlook, we may be able to create a buffer against difficult emotions. Learning to practice gratitude and focus on the good can help an older adult become more resilient, leading to an overall better quality of life.

💙 Team Member Spotlight: Joyce Knowles, LPN
Meet Joyce Knowles, a Licensed Practical Nurse at Kirkland Village who has dedicated nearly 14 years to making a difference in the lives of our residents and their families: https://hubs.ly/Q03Lp_4h0

A Journey of Growth

Joyce's story began in 2011 when she was hired as a Med Tech at just 20 years old. With the mentorship of leaders like Liz Jensen and the support of the PSL family, Joyce worked her way through nursing school and has grown into a compassionate leader who now mentors others.

Today, she serves as a Nurse, Med Tech Trainer, Staff Scheduler, and Clinical Mentor across all levels of care.

Why Senior Care?

Raised in part by her grandmother (now 91), Joyce's passion is deeply personal. "Watching my grandmother age fuels my passion for helping seniors find grace and purpose in the aging process."

After losing her father at a young age, Joyce vowed to support families navigating the challenges of aging and terminal illness. "I want to be there for both residents and their families through it all."

Her Advice:

"Put God first, have faith, and give yourself grace. Always be open to learning."

Thank you, Joyce, for your dedication and compassion. You truly embody the mission of Presbyterian Senior Living! 💙
