Johnny DelVecchio Is Appointed to the UALA Board

Johnny DelVecchio, UALA Executive Director has been appointed to the Utah Assisted Living Association (UALA) Board.

UALA’s mission statement and vision are to promote the concept of assisted living throughout the state of Utah, to increase knowledge and improve skills of members, and to assist regulatory bodies in defining standards as they apply to the management of senior housing. Thus, it’s an important role for DelVecchio — to have a voice and be a liaison between the state of Utah and assisted-living communities, including Avamere at Mountain Ridge.

This is DelVecchio’s first time serving on the UALA board. Membership is based on nominations from peers in the assisted-living and healthcare industry. The UALA board reviews the nominations and makes recommendations for the best person to fill the open seats.

DelVecchio was honored to be nominated by his peers and appointed to the board. He notes, “I feel honored to be nominated for this position and look forward to networking with other assisted-living communities. Here at Avamere at Mountain Ridge, we strive to be an integral part of the industry and the team to serve residents. I look forward to having a voice in matters relating to our seniors and help to make their lives better.”

Everything Avamere at Mountain Ridge does centers around their residents — from activities to amenities to the care they provide. It’s all a part of their mission to enhance the life of every person they serve
