Meet the team at our community in Westminster, CO.

Linda began working in senior living in 2004 following a career in higher education.  In reflecting on both careers, Linda has found it rewarding to work with individuals and families during times of meaningful transition.  Working with adults spanning from eighteen to 100 years of age, she is touched by and appreciates the life-long journeys of growth and experience that God unfolds for each person.  Linda desires to come along side people to provide support during times of change and, through that support, bring peace of mind.  She finds working in senior living particularly enjoyable because it is a setting where staff and residents alike appreciate each other.  Linda has worked on several senior living campuses within and outside of Covenant Living and was thrilled to join the team at Covenant Living of Colorado in 2018.

Inspired by a family who are “always in the kitchen” and the love of food, a career in the culinary arts was always in Ruben’s blood.  For over 20 years, he has been dedicated to his craft from educational experience and extensive mentorship by James Beard Award winning Chef Roy Yamaguchi, Troy Guard and James Mazzio.

A majority of his career has been in fine dining, he ventured into Health Care because he felt it was time for him to give back to our community and culinary world.
