Meet Robert:
Robert Powell graduated from Central Washington University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. In 1985, he began his career at a juvenile court, where he served in various roles including detention manager, probation counselor, and intensive supervision parole officer over a span of ten years.
Following his tenure at the juvenile court, Robert joined Naselle Youth Camp, working in a lodge specifically for sex offenders for five years. He then transitioned to Child Protective Services as an investigator, a role he held for another five years before seeking a new direction.
Robert was appointed as the administrator of Alder House Assisted Living in South Bend, serving in this capacity for four years before moving on to Long Beach Retirement and Assisted Living, where he worked for eight years. Seeking a position with fewer hours, Robert eventually joined the Olympic Area Agency on Aging.
At the Olympic Area Agency on Aging, Robert has been a dedicated MAC – TSOA case manager, Kinship Care Worker, and Family Caregiver Support Program case manager for nearly eight years, continuing to provide vital support and services to the community.
