Community Leadership

Each member of our team has been carefully selected. We first seek out individuals that embrace our core values: professionalism, integrity, commitment and compassion. Additionally, empathy, great communication and willingness to go the extra mile are key attributes for anyone tasked with serving the residents of one of our communities.

Nicole King

Executive Director

Nicole has served as Executive Director of The Kensington since May 2018. She also leads CountryHouse Residence for Memory Care, a memory-care specific community also owned by Agemark Senior Living.

After gaining experience in long term care, Nicole returned to work as a Nurse at The Kensington for one year before taking the helm as Director for CountryHouse in 2014 and eventually rising to lead both communities. The Kensington and CountryHouse work closely together to provide exceptional care for residents of each community.

Nicole enjoys spending time with her husband, Ted and her three daughters. She volunteers for Relay for Life and participates in fundraising efforts for local women’s shelters.

“Senior care is my calling. I’m committed to giving the very best care to our residents and families, and helping our residents experience joy each and every day. I want to be there in all times of need — whatever it may be.”
