Kim Owen, LCSW

After 13 years of living in the West Coast, Kim returned home to Ithaca, a place “where we raise our children, where we want to write the rest of our story.”

Passionate about her work with the aging population, she enjoys talking with residents and impromptu catch-up sessions. She also speaks highly of the teamwork among her colleagues, which she calls “impeccable” even on the most challenging days.

Kim is a licensed social worker with a gerontology certificate from Ithaca College. Her hobbies include Crossfit, living a healthy lifestyle and being a mom to her sport-loving kids.

Nicole Cokely

Nicole started her time with Longview as a case management intern in 2012. While working at Longview, she attended Ithaca College to obtain a degree in Legal Studies.

Her favorite part about Longview is the the long list of unique people she’s interacted with over the years. She is amazed that Longview has drawn people from every corner of the world with such diverse backgrounds.

On her free time, Nicole loves to spend time with her family and friends, and catching up on current events.

Rev. Barbara Rhudy

After falling in love with chaplaincy and pastoral care while completing her residency at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, NC, Barbara served as Associate Pastor of Homer Congregational Church, and as chaplain to many organizations.

As her desire grew to look for a new opportunity with older adults, she had a chance run in with the former spiritual life coordinator at Longview, who was leaving the position. A happy meeting!

Her greatest joy and privilege at Longview is interacting with the amazing residents. They have “humbled me and continue to teach me about kindness, gratitude, courage and humility.”

Barbara enjoys reading poetry, spiritual biographies, and is grateful for the many hiking trails in the Finger Lakes.
