Keller Landing’s Employee for the month of May is...

Mrs. Jennifer Despigno!

Jennifer Despigno joined our Keller Landing team as our facility’s Receptionist, Bookkeeper, and Medicaid Specialist in November 2022. Since then, she says that the family environment here at Keller Landing has made her enjoy coming to work every day to see the smiling faces of our sweet residents.

Jennifer worked for many years as a Medical Assistant in a local doctor’s office before joining our team. She came to Keller Landing with 14 years of experience in the medical field and hopes to work here until she retires. When asked why she wanted to be in the long-term care facility profession, she responded, “To help and care for others.”

When Jennifer is not at work, she loves spending time with her husband of 23 years and their 3 beautiful children. Some of her hobbies are playing with her grandchildren, swimming, traveling, and going to the beach. Her goals for the future are to help her children be successful and travel the world with her husband.

Thank you, Jennifer, for all the hard work that you do to help Keller Landing be its absolute best for those we serve.
