KAREN RENNER-VALLEY – DIRECTOR          
Hello, my name is Karen. I am so happy to be in an environment of such caring people, staff, caregivers, and participants. I have been a nurse for a very long time, but very new in this position of Director at Park Place, having started in November, 2016. I come from a background that has put sensitivity and giving to others at its core. Of my relationships in this life thus far, I am sometimes the teacher, but more often the student, the one who is everyday learning something new and important. I am truly blessed with a loving family, one daughter, a son-in-law, two grandchildren, and two dogs who think I’m their mom. They all bring me joy.

I have worked at Park Place since 2012.It is a very rewarding place to work.  I am the accountant and have a diverse spectrum of duties.  I have been an accountant with 2 degrees for over 35 years.  I do all phases of accounting including payroll, billing (accounts receivable), purchasing and paying of all invoices (accounts payable), as well as computer programing and maintenance.  I love coming to Park Place at least 2 days each week, not only for my work, but for the family of co-workers and clients.  They always make you feel good. In my spare time, I volunteer at several places in the community. I love to knit, crochet, read and watch movies at home.  I feel I have a very busy but rewarding life​

I have been in the Health care field for 30 years and hold caring for the needs of others dearly. My husband Dan and I enjoy biking, kayaking, snow shoeing, and the great outdoors. We are blessed with 5 children, their spouses and 9 grandchildren who bring such joy in our life.  
​JACKIE MASON- CCA
Hello, my name is Jackie. Before recently coming to Park Place, I worked in an assisted living home. Prior to that, I worked two decades as a police, fire, and EMS dispatcher. I have always found meaning in service to others, but it is the face to face connection in my last and present job that has given me the most satisfaction. I love helping and getting to know those who require extra help in their lives, who are typically considered one of the most “vulnerable” groups in our society. But it is they who have given me the gift of a deeper understanding and compassion that I may not have otherwise learned. They, along with our wonderful caring staff, have only reinforced what it is to truly care for others. I have a wonderful husband, two sons, and grandchildren. I enjoy family, gardening, music, and art. I also care deeply about animals and our environment.

What I share with this wonderful group of people has come back to me ten-fold.

Hello, my name is Kris. I worked as a phlebotomy technician for several years before deciding to go into the Home Health Care Field. This is what piqued my interest and enjoyment at Park Place Adult Day Services. My journey here has not only been very educational, but also extremely rewarding. I have the unique opportunity of working with clients of all different ages and degrees of disabilities. It is a great feeling knowing you have made someone’s day! I might also add that I have great staff members to work with. I have a son who lives in Texas and a daughter who lives in Green Bay. I enjoy spending time around our garden and tending to our flower beds. I also enjoy camp fires, camping, traveling, and being near the ocean.
