Kimpton Hopkins, Administrator

[email protected]

I fell in love with long-term care over 20 years ago. Originally licensed in the state of Kansas in 2001, I’ve expanded my licensure to over five states. It truly has been the ride of a lifetime. I love helping care for those who cannot care for themselves—it is both a mission and a calling for me. From a young age, I spent time with older members of my family, gleaning from their knowledge. My maternal grandmother is 107! She taught me the value of being respectful and living a full life. I am a Husband, a Daddy to four, and a Papi to four. One of the tenets I live by is, “I don’t do what I do to get ‘rich’; I do it because I get ‘enriched’ by the lives I affect and those who affect me.”

Missael Arreola BBA, MA, LNHA, Assistant Administrator and Business Office Manager

I lead this community with a calm, compassionate presence shaped by my work and by my life as a father to a daughter with disabilities. She has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of truly seeing the whole person helping me guide every choice I make in this building. I believe leadership should be personal and present so I spend my time walking the halls, sharing meals, and building genuine connections with residents and staff. My purpose is to create a place where people feel safe, respected, and deeply cared for because I understand on a personal how much that matters to families. Outside of work, my daughter is my greatest motivation and grounding force reminding me every day why this work carries such meaning.

Katlyn Custer, Assistant Operator and Activities Director

[email protected]

I serve in a dual role as the Assistant operator and Activity Director, bringing both clinical experience and a passion for resident engagement to our community. I have over eight years of experience as a CNA and six years as a CMA, giving me a strong foundation in providing compassionate, hands-on care.

I discovered my love for senior care early in my career and have continued to grow in the field by expanding my skills and responsibilities. I am currently working toward earning my nursing license to further advance my healthcare career and continue making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.

I believe that great care goes beyond daily tasks – it’s about building genuine connections and ensuring every resident feels valued, respected and well cared for. In my role as Activity Director, I am dedicated to creating engaging experiences that enrich residents’ lives and foster a true sense of community.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and take every opportunity that I can to be in the great outdoors.

Katherine Hooper, Regional Business Office Manager

I maintain office efficiency by assisting with onboarding staff, payroll, accounts payable, receivables, monthly billing and medical records. I started my journey here in 2010 and have worked as a CNA, CMA and Activity Director, as well as helping our community members with transportations. It has been a pleasure not only to assist the people in our community, but also to have a direct bond with our staff as they join our team.

I am a motivated and reliable individual with a strong interest in personal growth. I enjoy spending time outdoors through camping and fishing, and I value quality time with family and friends. I am committed to advancing my education and refining my skills for long-term success.

Tammy Snow, Activity and Social Service Director

[email protected]

I have worked at Advena Living of Clearwater since November 2023. I have over 30 years of experience in nursing, as a Certified Activity Director, Social Service Designee, CNA, CMA and EMT. I am dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors, creating engaging programs that promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. I strive to make every day meaningful and enjoyable for the residents.

Outside of work I cherish my roles as mom to my daughters and Nan to my amazing grandchildren. I love spending time with my family and friends, going to sporting events and finding new adventures. My personal experiences inspire my professional work, reminding me every day of the importance of community, compassion and creativity in caring for others.

Brett Robinson, Director of Food Services

[email protected]

I have worked in the culinary field for over 11 years, beginning my career at the Advena Center in Clearwater—before it was even known as Advena. From the start, I found a deep sense of purpose in serving this community. Working with this population feels like being surrounded by family; you come to see each resident as a grandparent, aunt, or uncle, which inspires you to give your very best every day.

I chose to return to Advena because I felt called by God to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others—especially those who need compassion and a reflection of His love the most. I believe my attention to detail, along with my commitment to creating positive change, contributes to my success in this role.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my niece and two nephews, who are a big part of my life, and I have a passion for classic cars

Barry Farley, Maintenance Director

[email protected]

I was raised in a small town in Barber County, Kan. My family moved to Wichita, where I graduated from Northwest High School. I worked in service stations, went to school as an automotive mechanic, worked in construction, and spent 20 years at Bombardier (Learjet) in the engineering and I.T. departments. I started part time at Fountainview before becoming full time, and then Director of Maintenance. I enjoy the satisfaction of repairing things that do not work and making them usable or improving their appearance. I like the facility because of the community members’ appreciation of my work, and it feels like a small community.

Coming Soon, Maintenance Technician
