Kevin Wallace, Dietary Cook

“I love my job, and I love to cook. I’ve been cooking ever since I could reach the stove, learning from my grandmother and mother. My job at Superior Care Home is very rewarding. It’s more than being a cook. It’s getting to know the residents, watching them improve and seeing them smile when they have enjoyed a good home-cooked meal. The standards are higher here. That’s what sets our facility apart from the rest.”

A Symsonia native, Kevin was a Red Cross volunteer at Superior Care Home during summer vacations while in junior high school. He left the area for Texas, where he was a retail convenience store manager. There, he came to know the dietary manager from the local nursing home. She was so impressed with Kevin’s customer service attitude, she persuaded him to work in the dietary department at the local nursing home where he cultivated his passion for serving the elderly.

When Kevin returned to this area three years ago, he joined Superior Care Home as a dietary cook and can’t imagine being anywhere else. A wonderful cook who is just as comfortable in the dining room visiting with residents as he is in front of a stove, Kevin is an asset to the Superior Care Home team.

His passion goes beyond the kitchen. He is an avid stock-car racing fan and race videographer with his own YouTube Channel, Dirt1Fan — which, we understand, are becoming quite a hit! But in our book, nothing compares to his turkey and “grandma’s” dressing … just one of his many five-star meals.
