Jessica Davries
ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR

Jessica Davries is the Admissions Director of Generations at Neighbors. As the daughter of
a local farmer and living just five minutes away from the facility, she has a personal love for Generations at Neighbors.
According to Jessica, “healthcare fell on my lap more than I fell on its lap.” She was considering a very different direction in life before starting a position in Social Services and falling in love with long-term geriatric care, learning wisdom and knowledge from patients throughout her experience at skilled nursing facilities. Her background in psychology and sociology lends a passion for mental health and well-being.
Jessica is a self-described “old world soul,” with a penchant for quilting and swing dancing.
Kim Welton
DON

With an extensive career devoted to the care of the geriatric population, she has become a cornerstone of our leadership team. Beginning her nursing journey in long-term care, supportive living, and family practice settings, she has always been drawn to environments that allow her to make a tangible impact on residents’ lives. An alumna of Highland Community College (ADN) and Olivet University (BSN), her professional path has been enriched by diverse experiences in LTC, supportive living, and physician practices. Her commitment to excellence is evident not only in the compassionate care she provides to residents but also in the unwavering support she offers her colleagues, embodying the values and reputation of our organization.
Beyond her professional achievements, she leads a vibrant personal life that reflects her passion for both adventure and family. In the summer, you can find her enjoying long rides in the countryside with the Jeep top off, soaking up the sun and music, while winter finds her cheering for the Steelers. She treasures quality time with her retired husband—whom she playfully refers to as her “dependent”—and her four grown children. Whether she’s relaxing on the deck with her husband and beloved dogs or engaging in the day-to-day joys of life, she brings the same warmth and enthusiasm to her personal endeavors as she does to her professional role.
