After providing private care in homes for over 25 years, and doing a short stint in a local Assisted Living Facility, Kim became inspired to do something significant to address the need for a quality and a more personalized approach to senior care. She is passionate about caring for the needs of her clients, and derives great pleasure and fulfillment from being able to do so on a full time-basis after the 2018 launch of KimberlyCare LLC. She feels tremendously blessed and fortunate to have an exceptional team to both serve with and lead. KimberlyCare is uniquely positioned to help families keep their loved ones in a safe and nurturing home environment longer than they otherwise would have been able.

Kim grew up the youngest of ten children in Louisville, Kentucky. She has four adult children and one grandson. She loves involvement in her local church and in her free time enjoys puttering in her yard, reading, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.

Carolyn - Care Giver and Manager of Scheduling, Invoicing, and Payroll

Served local church families of all ages through compassionate care
Worked several years as a nurses’ aid in a nursing home

Partly because of the geographical distance from family, I am drawn to show care for others in similar ways that I wish I could give to my own family members. I have always enjoyed serving others in a variety of ways, whether through a church congregation, school classrooms, nursing home, or through the encouragement of listening. It has been a blessing to see how God provides compassionate care to my own loved ones, and I’m blessed to be on the giving end with others.

When I’m not working, I love studying and preparing Bible study lessons for women. I also enjoy camping with my husband of 46 years, visiting my four children and 15 grandchildren, and serving through our church. Recent retirement has gifted me some treasured flexibility.

Dave Culver - Care Giver and Chaplain

Pastor for 42 years - retired in January 2022
Served local churches in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Earned doctorate and has traveled internationally, teaching and training indigenous local church pastors and leaders for more effective ministry.

I enjoy providing compassionate care for clients and respite care for their families. As a chaplain, I support clients and their families spiritually through home visits, prayer, support groups, hospital calls, and other ways as needs/client interest become apparent.

I have been married for 45 years. My wife Carolyn and I have four married children and fifteen grandchildren. I worship and serve through my local church and I enjoy yard work, camping, hunting, traveling, and golf. I especially enjoy time with my children and grandchildren all of whom live outside of Ohio.

Jackie - Advisor

Main caregiver for my mother, for 12 years, up until the time of her death
Front Desk Receptionist and Administrative Assistant for 18 years
Volunteered at Greene Memorial Hospital

The village of Cedarville has been my home since 1969 when I established my roots here as an 8th grader. After graduation I attended Moody Bible Institute following another year of college at Cedarville University. I married a local and Cedarville is where home continues to be for us. We bore, raised, and released six children who have now given us eleven grandchildren to love on. I have always had a love for those who have needed specialized care. My joy is found in making a difference in others lives. When I’m not working you may find me in my kitchen making a meal for two, four, six, or even eight! I also love enhancing my yard through gardening or sitting on our back porch with a cup of coffee and a friend.

Alice Marie - Care Giver

Cared for elderly parents after their multiple surgeries, with my dad’s dementia, and on-going, current health needs of my mother

I am a Pennsylvania native, the oldest of four siblings, a diehard Penn State fan and the wife of a retired pastor. I’ve served with my husband Mark in six churches and lived in five states during 50 years of ministry. We are the parents of four married children who have blessed us with 15 grandchildren.

I’ve served in women’s ministry roles of speaking, teaching, and leadership capacities. My heart and hands reach for people and their needs. When I’m not working with people, you will find me at my piano, expressing and appreciating my love of music. My hobbies include knitting and sewing for my grandchildren.

Sarah - Care Giver

Earned a bachelor of Science in Nursing at Cedarville University
Previously worked as a Registered Nurse in the state of Ohio for 5 years

I grew up in several areas of the country, from California to Maine. However, the cornfields of Ohio have been my home for many years now. During my time here I have become a nurse, a wife, and a mother to 3 kids.

Although I am not currently working as a registered nurse I am thankful for the opportunity at KimberlyCare to provide skillful companionship and compassionate care in this community.

When I’m not working or involved in some activity with family or friends you can find me immersed in a book, or in the middle of a house project that is always more involved than I ever thought it would be!

Gaytha Bolton - Care Giver

Completed CPR Training
Previous Certified Nurse Assistant
Private Client Care

For over 15 years as an in-home caregiver, I have enjoyed helping folks remain in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible. I began by caring for dear neighbors, friends, and my own father for the last years of his life. My opportunities continued to grow by word of mouth in the Kansas community where we lived.

In 2022, my husband and I made a momentous move from our lifelong home to Xenia, Ohio, so that our granddaughter could live with us while attending a local university. Now, I am thrilled to be a part of the KimberlyCare team and to serve folks in this area!

I have been married to my husband for nearly 50 years, and we have 5 children and 19 grandchildren that all (but one) live out of state. That gives us plenty of places to visit! I also enjoy reading, gardening, and quilt-making.

I enjoy reading on my front porch, bike riding and gardening. I have three grown children and two granddaughters who I enjoy visiting and spending time with.
