DaLinda Love

After earning a B.S. in Nursing and Biology from The College of New Jersey, DaLinda focused on individuals with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses in acute rehabilitation settings. As a rehab nurse, she helped patients achieve and maintain their optimal levels of function, including self-care, and promote their physical, psycho-social, and spiritual health.

Working in outpatient and inpatient settings in long-term care and rehab, DaLinda has accumulated extensive knowledge regarding the treatment of disabilities and chronic illnesses. Her broad knowledge of state and federal regulatory requirements ensures compliance within UMC.

In her current role, she serves as a resource and provides clinical guidance to UMC’s directors of nursing, directors of residential life, and other key clinicians. She supports and guides them during regulatory surveys and assists with follow-up. As healthcare changed, she assumed different roles in long-term care. For the last 17 years, DaLinda has overseen clinical services in nursing homes and ensured assisted living resident satisfaction and regulatory compliance.

To stay current in the field, she belongs to numerous professional nursing and health organizations including, American Nursing Informatics Association, American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordination, American Assisted Living Nursing Association, National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and National Association for Healthcare Quality.
