Hope Kelly-Roberson is the Executive Director at Barclay House of Baton Rouge. She was born and raised in the Baton Rouge area and currently lives in Walker, Louisiana. She is a Registered Nurse, graduating from Excelsior University in Albany New York. She has been a nurse for 29 years, has been in administration for 19 years, and has been in the senior housing industry since 2020. Before coming to Barclay House, she was a Regional Director of Operations and a Regional Director of Clinical Services for another company, and also ran the hospice division of that company.
Her favorite part of working with seniors is hearing their stories. "I was raised by my grandparents, so I have always had a soft spot for seniors," she says. "I love hearing their history and stories about things that I only knew about from history books." Her favorite part of working at a QSLM community is the welcoming atmosphere. "I love that I have felt like I came home since the first day that I walked in to my building. The positivity in the building is palpable," she explains.
When she isn't working, she likes to go RV'ing, read books and spend time with my family and friends. She is also a real people person. She says, "I love to love on people! It makes my heart happy to make people smile!"
