Meet Natalie Russo,
Resident Care Director
Welcome our new Resident Care Director! Born and raised in the Capital Region, Natalie is a registered nurse with Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and Master’s degrees. She spent most of her career as a nurse consultant for the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, various advocacy organizations, and law firms representing people with special needs. Natalie often participated in cases where she was a consultant and/or an expert witness. She advocated for better services, care, and opportunities for those most in need, like the medically fragile or elderly. She says, “Although the work was challenging … it provided me with opportunities of a lifetime – serving the needs of others.”
Eventually, Natalie was ready to settle down and work where she lived. She held various leadership positions throughout the Capital Region until she found us! Natalie came to the Massry as she sincerely appreciated the Massry’s respect for an individual’s philosophy of life, death, culture, and religion. She also shares our commitment to ensuring our residents are protected, well cared for, and live meaningful lives.
Natalie is an animal-lover at heart, once having a top-winning show dog named Gideon, which means “great warrior” in Hebrew. He toured the US and Canada, won Best of Breed at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club, and was the number one Vizsla in the country.
Be sure to welcome Natalie to the Massry family!
