Volunteer of the year

Nancy Eustis was named Volunteer of the Year at the Kenwood Senior Living, 825 Summit Ave. She has lived at The Kenwood since 1997. Eustis has volunteered throughout the community in many ways. For three years, she was president of the Residents Council, convened creative writing classes and the newsletter committee, and every other week she leads discussions on current events.

Years ago, Eustis suffered a spinal cord injury from a car accident. She is wheel-chair-bound, but nothing keeps her in her apartment for long.

“I like that I’ve found a way to give back,” she said. “Volunteering at The Kenwood keeps me learning and being with people.”

“Nancy is best at looking out for the betterment of our community and finds many ways to share her talents and experiences,” said Jennifer Volkenant, executive director at The Kenwood. “She is delightful to work with in any capacity, and we feel fortunate to know her.”

The Kenwood Senior Living is located in the Lowry Hill neighborhood within the Calhoun-Isles community and provides independent living and assisted living apartments.
