Grace Barker Nursing Center is a family-owned and operated facility offering a comprehensive range of elder services and accommodations. Founded in 1966, it has a long-standing tradition of serving the East Bay community and has become a trusted name for senior care over several generations. The facility takes pride in its personal approach to care, considering each resident’s well-being as part of its central mission. The management and staff are deeply rooted in the local area, which fosters a genuine connection with residents and their families—making them feel like an integral part of the community.
The center provides a unique continuity of care through all stages of aging, thanks to its all-encompassing campus. Residents experience a smooth transition from one level of service to another within the same familiar environment. This approach helps maintain important connections with friends and surroundings, which supports comfort and well-being as needs change over time. The diverse menu of elder care services is designed to address a broad spectrum of requirements, from short-term rehabilitation to long-term nursing care and assisted living. This enables residents to age in place while continuing to receive personalized and attentive support.
At Grace Barker Nursing Center, an in-house rehabilitation team works closely with residents to promote recovery and help them regain as much independence as possible. The dedication of the staff is evident in their daily efforts and their personal investment in each resident’s progress. Dining is an important aspect of the experience, with meals freshly prepared and served in areas like The Willows and The Cove, which are inviting shared spaces where community members can gather and interact.
The sense of family and commitment is a driving force behind all aspects of life at the center. The leadership team is hands-on, making sure that the core values of compassion, respect, and excellence are upheld throughout the campus. Over the decades, the center has played a vital role in supporting families from Warren, Bristol, Barrington, Riverside, East Providence, Rumford, Portsmouth, and Tiverton, as well as nearby Massachusetts communities such as Swansea, Seekonk, Somerset, and Rehoboth. This deep community integration, combined with a genuine dedication to elder care, is what sets Grace Barker Nursing Center apart and defines “the Grace Barker Difference.”
