Kayla Grafke

Assistant Director of Nursing

My name is Kayla Grafke, and I am from a small town called Easton, Kansas, where I grew up on a farm. I graduated from Pleasant Ridge High School, where I played volleyball and softball. I spent the first few years of my college career at Washburn University studying elementary education. I have a family full of nurses, which inspired me to go to nursing school. I received my LPN license from Concorde Career College. I am currently bridging to receive my Registered Nurse license at Excelsior College online.

I have worked in all levels of nursing care, from CNA, CMA, LPN, and currently Assistant Director of Health and Wellness here at The Piper. I have worked in long-term care, pediatric hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living. I am so happy to work with our residents, family members, and staff here at The Piper. It truly is a great community to be a part of.
