Michael Salvato
Director of Admissons & Marketing
Michael Salvato began his journey at Ross Center in 2019 as a Concierge, not knowing that the facility—and the people in it—would change his life. Over the years, and especially through the challenges of the pandemic, he developed a deep love and respect for the residents. Their stories and resilience have left a lasting impact on him.
To Michael, Ross isn’t just a workplace—it feels like home. That sense of warmth and connection drives everything he does, both in admissions and marketing. Whether he’s guiding families through the admission process or building relationships in the community, his mission remains the same: to ensure every person who encounters Ross feels seen, supported, and valued.
Outside of work, Michael enjoys spending time with his family. He also has a passion for boxing, cooking, and reading. Though he never expected to find his calling in healthcare, he now knows he was built for it.
