Leadership Spotlight

Joe Murabito

President, CEO, and Managing Partner

With more than 30 years of experience in healthcare administration and senior residential care management, Joe Murabito is a trusted leader and visionary in long-term care. A native of Oswego, NY, Joe currently co-owns and operates seven health facilities across Upstate and Central New York, serving more than 1,000 residents each day.

Since 2011, he has served as President of MorningStar Residential Care Center, Vice President of Business Development for Alternative Solutions Group since 2009, and previously as Regional Vice President of Operations for Wingate Healthcare.

Joe’s connection to the senior-care community runs deep. Grounded in family and faith, he views his work as a calling—one that emphasizes personal relationships, accountability, and community stewardship. In 1995, answering his grandfather’s request, he returned home to Oswego to manage the facility his family built—formerly Harr-Wood Nursing Home and later Sunrise. Though he hadn’t planned to own a nursing home, that opportunity became the foundation of his life’s purpose.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration from Ithaca College and a Master of Health Administration from Cornell University, complemented by internships at the VA Hospital in Syracuse and St. John’s Hospital in Los Angeles.

Beyond healthcare, Joe and his wife Ana Maria own and operate Strigo Vineyards—a vineyard, inn, tasting room, and event center located on Plainville Road in Baldwinsville, NY. Strigo serves as both a hospitality destination and an embodiment of Elemental’s Life in Balance philosophy, celebrating connection, growth, and community.

Outside of work, Joe enjoys mixed martial arts, bow hunting, fishing, and spending time with Ana Maria and their two children.
