Michael Salvato
Director of Admissons & Marketing
I began my career at Ross as a concierge in 2019. I have developed a great love and respect for our residents over the years, especially during the pandemic. They truly touch my heart and I am honored to be a part of their lives. The atmosphere here is so welcoming and comforting, I consider Ross a home, rather than a workplace. I spend much of my spare time with my grandmother, mother, and niece. I have a strong passion for boxing, cooking, and reading. I never pictured myself in the healthcare field, but I absolutely love it!

Lexi Avignone
Director of Recreation Therapy
After completing my course work at SUNY Cortland, I began my professional development in Recreational therapy as an intern at the Long Island State Veterans Home. I later became a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and worked in memory care for multiple years at Gurwin Jewish Nursing. I have a genuine love and understanding of the geriatric population and was ready to advance my career.
I am so grateful for the opportunity Ross has provided me as Director of Recreational Therapy. I hope to implement new ideas and special programs for our facility to engage and excite our residents and staff. If you see me around, you may also see my dog Lyla who loves to visit!
I spend my free time with Family, Painting and Walking!
