ABOUT AUTHOR

KIM GOOCH

Living next door to her paternal grandmother as she grew up greatly influenced her love and respect for elders AND it gave her insight into the process of aging, caregiving and the end of life. Recently she and her family cared for her father at home until his passing. While there is no experience like living it, Kim has spent years working in various areas of senior care including home health care, a hospital, memory care, personal care and independent senior living communities.

Her education includes degrees in English and journalism. Her writing and communication skills combined with her natural creative approaches to issues and ideas have led her to work on some innovative projects related to aging. She has a strong commitment to family and faith and is anxious to combine her skills, talents and experiences to serve elders.
