Doris-Ellie Sullivan
President and US Army Veteran
Team Member Since 2016
After her time as a nurse in the United States Army, Doris-Ellie Sullivan has dedicated over 25 years to building her knowledge and experience in the senior living industry in both the skilled nursing facility realm and then into the senior living industry realm.
Since 2016, she has provided leadership, guidance, and drive as President of Retirement Unlimited, Inc. (RUI) based out of Roanoke, Virginia. Under her eight-year leadership, RUI has more than doubled the number of senior living communities, adding communities that they own as well as many they manage throughout the East Coast. She was charged with overseeing and coordinating the renovation of the original six communities and designing and successfully opening an additional four, some of which during the COVID pandemic. Sullivan has since then worked through several acquisitions leading to a current total of 57 communities with more acquisitions and developments shortly.
Sullivan has transitioned RUI’s 40-year legacy from quiescent to an industrious and progressive organization, with proven records in occupancy and profit during all climates. Sullivan is currently on the board of Argentum – Senior Living Association, the American Senior Housing Association, and the Florida Senior Living Association.
She has been recognized as a Changemaker by Senior Housing News and named a Visionary Honoree by the Alzheimer’s Association.
#RUIGivesBack: Retirement Unlimited, Inc. (RUI) is committed to actively and consistently giving back to the communities where our residents and team members reside. Our #RUIGivesBack initiative stemmed from the involvement that many of our residents already had in the surrounding area; RUI sought to cater to that passion and incorporated the initiative into the core programming. Now, the #RUIGivesBack initiative spans all 57 of our communities where at least one day a month is devoted to community service. Through #RUIGivesBack, we partner with local organizations and non-profits to better the life, culture, and resources of the people in our area and beyond.”
