Valley View is pleased to announce the appointment of Geli Losch as Executive Director of Memory Services & Community Impact, a newly created leadership role designed to strengthen memory support services on campus while expanding outreach and education throughout the greater community.
“We are excited to see Geli bring this breadth of experience as she partners with those already serving in Memory Lane and helps guide the opening of Memory Personal Care this summer,” CEO Nicole Sarver says.
For more than six years, Geli has served Valley View as Senior Director of Resident Services, where she demonstrated exceptional leadership, deep compassion, and a strong commitment to resident-centered care. Her passion for memory support, paired with her collaborative and thoughtful approach, makes her uniquely well suited to guide this important expansion of services.
Prior to joining Valley View, she served as Executive Director of a secure dementia care facility in the Harrisburg area. She has facilitated caregiver support groups, built strong partnerships with Area Agencies on Aging, and played a key role in securing grant funding for community-based services. These experiences have shaped her ability to lead innovative, person-centered initiatives with both compassion and vision.
Geli says that she felt called to serve older adults from a young age, and throughout her career has been drawn to serving persons living with dementia. “For far too long, these individuals—and their caregivers—have been pushed to the margins due to a lack of understanding and awareness. Ensuring they have every opportunity to live their lives to the fullest is not only a professional commitment for me, but also a deeply personal one, as this journey touches my own family.”
In her new role, she will champion Valley View’s memory support initiatives while also serving as a visible and engaged ambassador in the broader community. Her work will include providing dementia education and information sessions, collaborating with local businesses and organizations, and helping advance efforts toward a more Dementia-Friendly Region. These initiatives will support individuals living with dementia at home, along with the caregivers who walk alongside them.
“Every person deserves a life filled with purpose and meaning, whether they are living with dementia or not,” she added. “At the same time, providing respite for caregivers and advancing research and brain health are essential to preserving what this disease threatens to take away. It is both our responsibility and our privilege to make sure no one walks this path alone.”
Geli will officially transition into her new role the week of February 16, 2026, with a brief transition period to ensure continuity of care and leadership.
