Kauhale Appointed Manager of Kingswood Senior Living Community
Kauhale Healthcare Management (“Kauhale”) has assumed management responsibilities for Kingswood Senior Living Community (“Kingswood”), a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) based in Overland Park, Missouri.
Effective January 1, 2026, Kauhale began overseeing the 332-residence campus after it was acquired through a bankruptcy sale. As part of its long-term strategy, the organization plans to convert the long-standing life care model—originally established when the community opened in 1982—into a rental-based structure.
Under Kauhale’s leadership, Kingswood will undergo comprehensive improvements spanning clinical care, resident services, amenities, team member engagement, and overall resident well-being. The plan also includes an investment exceeding $12 million in capital upgrades over the next three years. The initiative is being led by Jim Palculict, President and Chief Operating Officer of Kauhale, and represents the company’s second engagement managing a full continuum-of-care senior living campus for a new ownership group.
“At Kauhale, our focus on excellence is driven by our people,” said Palculict while adding, “Our approach centers on building strong, dedicated care teams and fostering environments that support purpose, wellness, and reassurance for residents and their families. In collaboration with Kingswood Executive Director Sergio del Pino and key stakeholders, we have developed a thoughtful plan designed to meet the evolving needs of seniors in Overland Park. Our goal is to restore Kingswood’s position as a leading senior healthcare community in the region.”
