Our Care Team

JoAnne Gattoni, M.B.A., N.H.A.

Director

"It is a privilege to be a part of the Courtyard of Loveland Assisted Living. Having worked in health care and senior care for more than 30 years,I have no qualms in stating that the Courtyard of Loveland is unique and personable. It is refreshing to hear the laughs of the residents, experience the camaraderie of our staff with residents, and the nourishing atmosphere we create daily."

JoAnne was born in Canada but lived most of her life in Southern California. She loves the beach and often vacations to areas where there is salty water. JoAnne and her husband moved to Colorado in 1996. She returned to college and received her bachelors’ degree from the University of Northern Colorado and my Masters Degree in Health Care Administration 10 years later. She is a licensed nursing home and assisted living administrator.

She loves spending time with the residents and their families. "This has truly enriched my life!" she says, "I married my high school sweetheart 35 years ago and we have two grown children; Lea and John. I also love spending time with family and friends. The outdoor lifestyle in Colorado has been a perfect fit for our family. We enjoy hiking, fishing, camping and boating."
