Jessica Hitchcock LNHA

Administrator

A native to the southern Adirondacks, Jessica has embraced the culture and life of all that embodies the rich nature of the local area. Starting at a young age, her family owned a general store where she learned the value of connecting with people and the local community. Initially with a pursuit of becoming a physical therapist, Jessica organically found the perfect niche of combining health care with social work. A graduate of SUNY Potsdam, Jessica was a Director of Social Work for 8 years in her small home town where her customers from days past, became her residents. Wanting to create more of an impact on overseeing the health and well-being of nursing home residents, Jessica achieved her Nursing Home Licensure through SUNY Oswego in 2019. Since becoming the Administrator of Warren Center in 2021, Jessica states, “that Warren Center immediately felt like home walking through the doors the very first time.” Always a social worker at heart combined with strong clinical skills, she thrives in overseeing the growth and development of her hard-working team to achieve successful outcomes for rehabilitation residents to return home. As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, she also enjoys specialized engagement with long-term residents through connectivity and learning the unique stories and characteristics that define each and every resident that also call Warren Center their home. Jessica feels it is an honor and a privilege to lead the residents, family, and staff at Warren Center. Outside of work, Jessica has completed a marathon, several half marathons, enjoys kayaking, tennis, biking, hiking, and teaching her two children the rewarding value of volunteerism through the Activities and holidays spent at Warren Center.

Annalee Rutty RN

Director of Nursing

My name is Annalee, and I am proud to serve as the Director of Nursing at The Warren Center. Born and raised in Jamaica, West Indies, I migrated to New York City over 2 decades ago, driven by a passion for creating a better future for myself and my family. That same passion led me into the field of nursing—an area where my deep desire to help people and make a meaningful difference could truly thrive.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University and began my career as a bedside nurse, specializing in cardiac and neuroscience care. These experiences laid a strong clinical foundation and helped shape my approach to leadership, emphasizing empathy, skill, and unwavering dedication to patient-centered care.

Transitioning into leadership at The Warren Center has been an incredibly rewarding journey. As a nurse and a leader, I bring not only my clinical expertise but also a compassionate heart and a commitment to supporting both our residents and their families. I believe in fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where nurses feel empowered and residents feel safe, respected, and cared for.

Outside of my professional role, I am a proud mother to two amazing sons and a devoted wife. My family has been my rock, and their love and support continue to inspire the person—and the leader—I am today.

It is truly an honor to be part of The Warren Center family, and I look forward to continuing to lead with purpose, passion, and a commitment to excellence.

Director of Rehabilitation

Elizabeth Dunkley has been the Director of Rehab here at the Warren Center since 2016. After earning my Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy in 2010 my husband and I re-located to the upstate NY area in 2012 where I began my career with Centers Health Care at the Granville Center. In 2016 I transitioned to the Warren Center to be the Director of Rehab and haven’t looked back. Being part of a team that is able to rehab patients and allow them to return to their prior level of function/living is truly rewarding.
