With the current director of nursing, Doreen Adams, in charge, I would never put a family member there. Unless you're paying privately, she will treat you like garbage. She's far more concerned about her own paycheck and image than the care of any resident. Fun story, ask her why she was fired the first tine she worked for Eventide.

My grandma and 2 great grandmothers lived at Gracewell. They have excellent care. The staff is very welcoming and passionate. They also have a wonderful memory care unit where they are very kind and understanding. They treat your loved ones like family. The residents are very proud to call Gracewell their home. It's so amazing to know that they are getting well taken care of. Thank you for all you do there!
