Grace Barker Health Offers Free Drone Service to Local Businesses

As an effort to give back to the local community, Grace Barker Health, a skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, assisted living and adult day health provider located in Warren, is offering to take free drone images for businesses and organizations throughout the East Bay who are located within the allowable fly zone for drone use.

Grace Barker Health Assistant Administrator Benjamin Lescault, who recently became certified as a commercial drone pilot by the Federal Aviation Administration, has outfitted the Grace Barker Health-owned drone with a camera that takes high-resolution photo and video footage. “We have named our drone GeeBee, and we are offering the opportunity to capture aerial drone images of local businesses and organizations at no cost,” states Ben Lescault, who notes that the resulting photo or video will be embedded with a Grace Barker Health logo along with the company or group’s brand imagery.

To date, Ben Lescault has already provided footage for Mount Hope Farm in Bristol and Benjamin Church Senior Center in Bristol. The drone is enabled to fly up to 400 feet in height. “Grace Barker Health is pleased to offer free, short-length drone videos to any business located within in the FAA-approved drone flight zone. The video will be watermarked with our Grace Barker Health logo and can be set to music, too. It then can be used for advertising, online and social media use, video tours, email marketing, and more.”
