Methuen Village Assisted Living’s Social Program Director, Kathleen Corey Rahme, is the recipient of the 2010 Community Service Award granted by the Massachusetts Assisted Living Facilities Association (Mass ALFA).

Each year Mass ALFA presents this award to one special nominee, chosen for their exemplary outreach within and beyond the assisted living community in which they work, and Kathleen Corey Rahme proved to be the well-deserving beneficiary of the award. Kathleen is passionate about making connections, forming partnerships, and discovering what folks have in common.  She runs the Methuen Youth Corps, which is a volunteer organization.  For several years, she has disseminated information on volunteer opportunities for youth, adults, seniors, organizations, and families in Methuen.  Methuen Village residents are now able to participate with the Youth Corps to make a difference.

Kathleen has worked to create a culture in which every individual is not only welcomed into their new home, but she facilitates connections between the new residents and others that live there.  She connects their family histories, their passions and their life stories from the beginning to where they are now.

The staff and residents alike feel lucky to have Kathleen as the community’s Social Program Director, and are thrilled that her extraordinary service to the community has been recognized by Mass ALFA with this honor.
