FORT WORTH, Texas — Cooper Vittitow has been appointed chief executive officer of Civitas Senior Living. Vittitow will also retain the role of president of the company. He assumed the position Dec. 1, as Civitas co-founder Wayne Powell transitioned from CEO to chairman of the board.
Powell founded Civitas, which owns and operates 32 seniors housing communities across several states, in 2012 with co-founder and managing partner Jay Dempsey. The company now serves roughly 5,000 residents.
Vittitow brings more than 18 years of experience in the senior living sector to his new role. He also previously held the positions of executive director and chief operating officer with Civitas.
