About Kari R. Wilson

Kari R. Wilson is the director of The Eudora Wilson House, which is an assisted living facility in Pilot
Rock, Oregon which is due to open its doors summer 2019. In October 2018, Kari bought the old Baptist
church on Southwest Street and the adjacent building at 585 S.W. Birch St. for about $200,000. She is
working to renovate and reopen the two structures as the Eudora Wilson House. The Pilot Rock City
Council has approved a conditional use permit to operate the facility, which would be the only one of its
kind in the town of about 1,500. The home will add 12-15 jobs, including kitchen and care staff and is
going to provide employees with on-site day care. Kari is responsible for general oversight of the facility.
She also oversees fundraising efforts, community outreach, hiring employees, marketing, problem solving
and providing basic caring for seniors.

The center will house up to 14 people, including couples. Much of the renovation is taking place in the
building next to the church, where contractors are erecting bedroom walls, walk-in showers and are
working on a kitchen complete with a commercial gas stove. The church next door has an old stage which
will serve as performance space or to display movies from a digital projector. The biggest part of the
project is the construction of a hall to connect the church to the building. Kari states, “We want to put in a
senior care facility that will be licensed by the state.”

With over 20 years experience, Ms. Wilson began her career in care in 1995 when she worked for
Umatilla County's detoxification program. From there she worked at the long-closed state psychiatric
center in Pendleton and the former Blue Mountain Recovery Center, the Pendleton facility that treated
addicts and the mentally ill.

Since June 2015, she has cared for her mother-in-law, Eudora Wilson. Once the new facility opens, Kari
advises that her mother-in-law wants to move right in. In her spare time, Kari enjoys playing golf and
travel.
