St. John’s Home appoints new vice president of skilled services

St. John’s Home announced the appointment of Dan Morphet as vice president of skilled services. Morphet brings 33 years of experience in the long-term care industry to his new role, having led operations at some of New York state’s largest skilled care facilities.

As vice president of skilled services, Morphet will oversee St. John’s skilled nursing operations, including Penfield’s Green House Homes and the main campus, which is home to 300 residents.

He will also manage rehabilitation services and will be responsible for developing a non-medical model of long-term care.

Morphet will be instrumental in the expansion of St. John’s services, such as the introduction of a chronic dialysis unit and pediatric skilled care, as part of the recently announced collaboration with University of Rochester Medical Center.

“Under Dan’s leadership, St. John’s will continue to advance its mission and evolve our services to provide the highest quality of care for our residents and their families,” said president and CEO Charlie Runyon.

Morphet joins St. John’s from Park Ridge Living Center in Rochester, where he served as the administrator of the 120-resident facility.

He previously held the position of senior administrator at Loretto Health and Rehabilitation in Syracuse, managing four facilities with a total of 1,846 residents and an annual operating budget of $180 million.

Morphet holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration and healthcare administration from Alfred University.
