What lead you to working in elder care?
I completed my degree at Nazareth University in Community Youth Development. I switched my focus and have worked with seniors for about 2 years. I enjoy the ability to expose them to new experiences and it's rewarding to watch them learn something new!

What brought you to Kirkhaven?
I like that Kirkhaven has longevity and a history in the community.

Welcome to the team Claudia!

At Kirkhaven, we have an employee recognition program called Caught in the Act of Caring, where residents, families, and staff can acknowledge a Kirkhaven staff member when they have gone above and beyond.

Shannon Grice, LPN, has been Caught in the Act of Caring!

"Even before she “officially” joined the Kirkhaven team and was an agency LPN, I could see she was a team player. I couldn’t say enough good things about her! She genuinely cared and listened. And still does! She continues to always listen to any concern or question about resident, collaborates with other disciplines and teaches colleagues along the way. I appreciate her being on Kirkhaven’s team and I know others do as well. Thank you for all you do!"- Kirkhaven Staff Member

This week is National Payroll Week! Let's take a moment to recognize Mary Scorsone, Kirkhaven's Payroll Manager of 39 years!

How would you describe your job?
"My job is to accurately and timely pay the employees."

How long have you been at Kirkhaven?
"I started in February 1984, taking a position in Purchasing. On my first day, Jim DeVoe asked if I had any payroll experience, and that’s how I started my payroll career. What keeps me here is having supervisors who have been supportive. I also love working with good co-workers and that every day is different."

Mary, thank you for 39 years of dedication!
