Gina Ruiz
Administrator
Gina Ruiz, Administrator of Generations at Applewood, started out in a financial role at the facility in 2014 and, upon realizing that she had a passion for the industry and wanting to do something more, developed into her current role. According to Gina, “placing a loved one in a nursing home is a daunting task; knowing you can be the expert in the field and guide families through this difficult process was my “aha” moment.”
One of the things that Gina feels sets Applewood apart is the incredible teamwork. She maintains that from the department heads down, everyone intimately gets to know the residents in order to provide one-on-one, patient-centered care.
“Our residents are not just here to pass the time… they have a purpose.”
