Dawn Ferguson, Executive Director

Dawn Ferguson is the Executive Director at Kingston Residence of Sylvania. She is responsible for the overall operations of the community. She has been with Kingston for over 27 years and has been part of two start-up communities for Kingston HealthCare Company. As the Executive Director, she opened Sylvania in November of 2001 and has never stopped looking at ways to improve the experience for the residents who reside in the community. She loves it when families can be a family again instead of being a caregiver and the resident looks forward to the visit from them again.

She is very transparent in her management style and the staff know that she is someone who acts with integrity and she respects each staff member for the role they play in the community.

In Dawn’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and reading a good book.

Monica Koszycki, Activities Director

Monica Koszycki is the Activity Director at Kingston Residence of Sylvania and recently celebrated her 10-year anniversary of being with our Community! Monica looks at her position as a special “calling.” She actually had a dream from her sister who passed away 10 years ago that she would come and work here. In many ways, she feels that it is of “divine intervention” that she has been guided to Kingston. Monica is grateful to have met so many wonderful residents and their families along the way, as well as great co-workers to work with to do the very best that they can for their residents! The management team is incredibly devoted to their community and she is proud to be a special part of that team! She is so grateful for her dedicated team of Activity Assistants, Wellness Coach, as well as her Chauffer, who all play very important roles in bringing compassion, genuine care, smiles, dedication, and FUN to our residents!

Monica has been married to her high school sweetheart, Steve, for almost 28 years (together for nearly 35 years) and they have been blessed with four amazing kids (Zach, Nate, Luke, and Josie). They have a dog, named Lacy, and Monica is a HUGE dog lover! Family trips to Cedar Point and Kings Island will always be special memories for her and her family!

She holds a Masters Degree in nursing education and has a passion for teaching. Kassa values the rewarding career of enhancing the quality of life of the aging population and especially enjoys caring for individuals with memory impairment.

Kristy Mininger, Admissions Director

Kristy Mininger brings many years of experience, creativity, and compassion to her role as Admissions Director at KRS. She loves to help families find a home for their loved ones here at Kingston.

Kristy and her husband Ryan live in Toledo. She has a 26-year-old son who added an amazing daughter-in-law to the family. She also has a 22-year-old daughter that lives in Oregon Ohio with her amazing boyfriend. Kristy’s husband and children are her whole world. She has always been a compassionate person who loves to help people. However, recalling moments with her family fuels her passion to help the families that come in so that they can return to the roles that they should be in, instead of the caregiver. She wants the family’s only worry to be; how many more memories they can make with their loved one because Kingston of Sylvania will take care of the rest. Kristy says that she can confidently tell families that their loved one will be taken care of here by our amazing staff because she knows that is 100% true!

When Kristy isn’t at work you will find her and her husband spending time with her children and family, in the front car of a Cedar Point ride, on the back of a motorcycle, on the boat, or anywhere by the water.
