Third Generation of Family Leadership at Grace Barker Health

Grace Barker Health, a skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, assisted living and adult day health provider located in Warren, announces that Benjamin Lescault has joined as assistant administrator. The announcement was made by Mark and Mary Beth Lescault, co-owners of Grace Barker Health.

In this newly created position, Mr. Lescault is responsible for overseeing staff operations; facilities management; monitoring inventory and distribution of products and services; assistance with business planning, budget development and marketing; and other operational duties. Previously, he served as environmental services assistant and participated in numerous seminars and training sessions in healthcare administration.

Prior to joining Grace Barker Health, he was administrative intern at a nursing home in Newport, R.I., a position he held while pursuing his bachelor of science degree in healthcare administration and management at Salve Regina University (Newport). He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in the field at the University.

“We are thrilled that Benjamin will be joining the family business, ushering in the third generation of ownership of Grace Barker at a time when many nursing home practices are corporate-owned,” states Benjamin’s father, Mark Lescault, who is the administrator of Grace Barker Health along with his wife Mary Beth, whose mother established Grace Barker in 1966. “Ben’s knowledge and experience in healthcare administration and management will help continue our tradition of caring for and providing quality elder services throughout the East Bay community.”

Benjamin is a resident of Swansea, Massachusetts.
