Meet our Celebrity Co-Host, Ann Hauser! "I fell in love with serving seniors at a young age. My grandparents David and Pauline Hauser were very close to me. While my grandfather David became ill with Lymphoma Cancer, I realized that I wanted to be the change in seniors lives who need more at this point in life. I now work for The Palms At San Lauren as the Assistant Administrator/Director of Resident Development and it became everything I wished for. Making a difference in someone’s life is my passion. With the support of my amazing fiancé Matthew Peinado and my two children, I can continue to help make a difference for seniors here in Kern County. "

Team ADAKC is ready to welcome back our beloved clients and offer much-needed respite to our treasured caregivers. If your loved one is interested in returning to our Day Program, contact us at [email protected]. Thank you to our Board of Directors, Staff, Community Donors and all of YOU who have helped us continue to serve #Alzheimers families in Kern County. We are open and ready to serve....

She was loving, passionate and feisty. Her love was evident through her caring actions. In 2008 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. We had the chance of getting to know Rose at our first campus on Olive Dr. and even though she is no longer with us, her beautiful legacy remains.
