Kim Russell Smith
Kim has been working in the field of Developmental Disabilities for over 20 years and has been the Administrator at Brookside Extended Care since 2007. Prior to her service at Brookside, Kim served as a Service and Support Administrator (SSA) at the Hamilton County Board of DD as well as created the Constant Companions day program which was one of the first alternatives to sheltered workshops in Hamilton County. This program offered not only day habilitation services but community employment. After partnering with the Hattie Larlham Foundation, the Constant Companions Program became available statewide. Prior to her service in the field of disabilities, Kim worked as an Investigator for the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services in the Sex Abuse Unit. Kim has made a commitment throughout her career to assuring the health and safety of the individuals she serves and has become an advocate for individuals who cannot speak for themselves. Kim believes that individuals with disabilities should be given choices and that families should be the primary decision makers for their loved ones when their loved ones cannot make choices on their own. As a former County Board SSA and a current ICF/IID and waiver provider, Kim is committed to assisting families in making informed decisions in regards to care. Kim earned her Bachelor of Science Degree from Xavier University in 1995.
