IN PROFILE: Helene Campton

Business: Inspirations Senior Living

Age: 59

Background: “I grew up in the idyllic town of Kenmore, New York. My father was in retail management his whole life until he retired. My mother’s family were all in sales one way or another, whether running businesses or marketing them. I am responsible for helping new residents and family members at Inspirations navigate through the process of moving into their new home.”

First Job: “My first job was working in my aunt and uncle’s remodeling business helping them mail out their brochures in the city of Buffalo, New York and the suburbs surrounding it.”

Years In Business: “I am new to Inspirations Senior Living as their move-in coordinator, but we just celebrated our second- year anniversary.”

Personal: “I enjoyed spending time with my husband. I just recently lost my wonderful husband, Dr. Dennis Campton, a year ago but I am very involved in the community through the Master Gardener program, Audubon Society, and Friends of the Library. My grandchildren will always be my main focus!”

Business Climate: “As the Baby Boomer generation continues to age, Inspirations Senior Living is the perfect fit for the Pahrump community.”
