Communication Connection is the first geriatric consultation service to be awarded the Senior Approved Certification in the state of Ohio.
This distinction clearly separates Communication Connection from other geriatric consultants in OH. Only those that achieve a 90% (or higher) customer satisfaction rating receive Certification.
Kathryn Kilpatrick, founder and president of Communication Connection, received her Master’s Degree in Speech and Language Pathology in 1968 from the University of Massachusetts. She has worked in a variety of settings, primarily in Ohio, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home health care agencies and she has her own private practice.
Kathryn is the author of over 30 products sold nationally including the Visiting Nurse Service Therapy Guides (Volumes 1-5) for Speech and Language Disorders.
Her background in speech and language pathology, specializing in serving the older adult population for over 3 decades, led to the development of Communication Connection in 2000 as a geriatric communication consultant.
She is a motivational speaker, marketing consultant and trainer on the local, state and national level and her programs and more recent products focus on enhancing the quality of life of the older adult and supporting their families, friends and caregivers.
She conducts family support groups and staff training on Life Enhancement and she specializes in working with families coping with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Kathryn recently created Memory Fitness Matters to meet the need of those interested in learning more about brain health and successful aging. Her motivational and informative memory fitness programs are presented to all ages, from senior groups to corporate America.
"Our goal is to help seniors and their adult children connect with safe reliable companies that we can verify a history of quality care and/or service. We cannot hope to accomplish this lofty mission without services such as the ones offered by Communication Connection," states Mascio, founder of Senior Approved Services. "We are proud to include this service within our exclusive network of other Certified Senior Approved Services."
