Ventas Leadership Transition
Ventas (NYSE: VTR) has announced a significant change to its executive team. Carey Roberts, who currently serves as the company’s executive vice president, general counsel, ethics and compliance officer, and corporate secretary, is set to step down from her post on June 26. Roberts will be transitioning to Blackstone, where she will take on the role of senior managing director and general counsel of real estate. Following her departure, Kevin Bohl, a dedicated member of the Ventas organization since 2011, will step in to manage her former responsibilities.
Expanding Capital Markets Expertise
Plante Moran Realpoint is bolstering its advisory capabilities with the appointment of Adam Heavenrich to lead its capital markets practice. Heavenrich arrives with an impressive background spanning over 30 years, during which he has provided strategic counsel to nonprofit organizations, senior housing investors, and property owners. Having previously founded Heavenrich & Company, his new mandate involves scaling the firm’s capital markets division, with a particular focus on structured finance and sale-leaseback transactions within the health care and senior living sectors.
New Leadership for Assisted Living Communities
Several senior care communities have also confirmed new appointments to their executive ranks to drive operational excellence. The Village at White River Junction, a Benchmark Assisted Living and Mind & Memory Care community, has selected Danielle Nickerson to serve as its executive director. Nickerson brings over ten years of industry experience to the role, having previously held management positions at various senior living facilities in Woodstock and Northfield.
Similarly, Broadview at Purchase College, situated on the campus of Purchase College, has named Robert D’Elia as its new executive director. D’Elia transitions to this role from The Osborn in Rye, where he served as corporate director of rehabilitation. His extensive background in overseeing staffing, budgeting, and resident satisfaction across the full continuum of care is expected to be a major asset to the university-affiliated retirement community.
Specialized Care Appointments
In Connecticut, Meadow Ridge has announced the promotion of Cristina Cardenas to the position of director of mind and memory care.
