Jason Soloninka

Executive Director

Jason’s professional journey began in commercial property management, but he soon realized he wanted a more personal connection in his work. After being inspired by a senior living community he passed daily, Jason transitioned to a career in senior living. He joined Capri Communities over a decade ago, starting in independent living, and in 2022, he became the Executive Director of Ruby Commons.

With over 17 years of experience in community management, Jason is a licensed real estate broker and holds an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration from MATC.

Jason enjoys life by spending quality time with his family, going on bike rides, golfing, and cheering on his three children at their sports events.

Josseline Castillo

Lifestyle Enrichment Coordinator

Josseline is our amazing Lifestyle Enrichment Coordinator at Ruby Commons! Josseline has always envisioned herself working with seniors and she loves being able to make a positive impact on the lives of the seniors she works with. Josseline brings a great attitude and love with her to work every day and it shows! A few words used to describe Josseline are fun, caring, artistic and hard worker. She gets her hard work ethic from her father, whom she greatly admires. He came from a family of eight to be the first with a college degree. When Josseline is not at Ruby Commons, you might find her spending time with her husband and pets or traveling and going to concerts and movies with friends. Some skills most people don’t know about Josseline is that she was a competitive folklore dancer for 8 years, speaks Spanish and also works as a full-time artist! She one day hopes to create a safe space for children who come from low-income families. One thing she said working with the residents has taught her is, be grateful for another day!

Christina Fontanini

Business Office Coordinator

Meet Christina, a dedicated and caring individual whose proudest accomplishment is building deep connections with family members, residents and staff members, creating a tightly knit community. Although her journey started as a caregiver in 2017, Christina’s trajectory shifted when she embraced her current role in November 2022. Outside of work, she finds true happiness in spending time with her family – her three kids and her dog. Adventuring, watching movies, cooking to the rhythm of music and getting lost in good books are her go-to leisure activities. Colleagues recognize Christina as a kind, honest, hardworking and patient individual who’s always ready to listen and support others. Her ultimate aspiration is to go skydiving, a testament to her adventurous spirit. Reflecting on her residents’ wisdom, she would share the lesson of embracing every moment, as life is unpredictable and fleeting.

Allan Druch

Sales Coordinator

Allan is a sales professional coupled with background in business management. He joined the Ruby Commons team in May 2024 and brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to his role. Prior to this position, he served as Assistant Community Manager at a 55+ community where he expanded his skills in community management and resident service. Allan enjoys life by spending quality time with his family. Watching his grandson play sports, enjoying family dinners or hitting the golf course (despite admitting he’s not very good at it), Allan finds fulfillment in life’s simple pleasures and cherishes the moments with his loved ones.
