Kimberly Thompson has dedicated her career to caring for others, with a lifelong passion for helping both people and animals. She began her healthcare journey as a Certified Nursing Assistant while attending college and nursing school, ultimately earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in 1995.
During her nursing education, Kimberly became the first nursing student at UNLV to complete an internship in home health and IV certification in Nevada. Her early clinical experience included wound care, blood transfusions, maternal and newborn care, pain management, chemotherapy pumps, and a variety of complex nursing services.
After moving to Utah, Kimberly continued to expand her nursing career through roles in skilled nursing, wound management, MDS coordination, and nursing leadership, including serving as both an Assistant Director of Nursing and Director of Nursing. She also spent 10 years in hospice case management, where she developed a deep commitment to supporting patients and their families with compassion, comfort, and dignity throughout the end-of-life journey.
Today, as Resident Care Coordinator, Kimberly brings decades of clinical experience and a compassionate approach to caring for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. She finds great meaning in supporting residents and their families while helping ensure each individual receives attentive, personalized care.
Outside of work, Kimberly has always loved the outdoors and staying active. Growing up in a small town, she spent much of her time running track, playing basketball, water skiing, camping, and fishing. She competed in hurdles throughout high school and college. Kimberly later married and raised two sons, and family continues to be an important part of her life.
