WARTBURG APPOINTS NEW ADMINISTRATOR OF MEADOWVIEW ASSISTED LIVING

John Schuster, an 11-year veteran of senior services provider Wartburg, has been promoted to administrator of Meadowview Assisted Living, a 103-resident facility on Wartburg’s 34-acre campus.

Mr. Schuster has steadily worked his way up from admissions coordinator to manager to administrator in-training and now to his current position.

He has a Bachelor of Arts and a Master’s in Public Administration from Pace University and earned his New York State Nursing Home Administrator’s license in 2012. He lives with his wife and son in Danbury, CT.

Said David Gentner, president and CEO of Wartburg: “We are proud of John’s work in our nursing facility and we are confident that he will ensure the care and services at Meadowview will continue to be at a premier level. His background will enable even more collaboration with our in-patient medical programs, our hospital partners and Wartburg’s home and community-based programs.”

“We are excited about having such a seasoned Wartburg colleague become administrator of Meadowview. He has been a key person in the growth of Wartburg for over a decade,” said Janet Palazzolo, vice president of residential services. “I look forward to John bringing to Meadowview his knowledge of administration and expertise in providing care to seniors.”
