As our current Administrator Beth Russell retires after thirty-nine years with our organization, we’re excited to welcome Brian back, leading the team at the Home. He brings with him experience and skills that will be invaluable to the future of eldercare and to our organization. In Brian’s words:

“I am incredibly excited to be coming back to Saint Elizabeth Home. And I feel it is an honor and a privilege to rejoin the team in the role of Administrator. This will afford me the opportunity to give back to the community that has given me so much. I look forward to meeting, reuniting, and working with everyone very soon!”

With more than seven years of experience in the role of Administrator, Brian most recently served as Executive Director at Oakland Grove Health Care Center, a 178-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Woonsocket with a staff of approximately 200 employees. Prior to that, he was Executive Director at the 96-bed South Kingstown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

At the Rhode Island Department of Health, Brian worked as a Principal Training Specialist, preparing surveyors for practice in the field after having served himself as a Health Facility Surveyor for a number of years.

Brian earned his MBA in Organizational Leadership from Bryant University and holds a BA in Public Administration and Political Science from Rhode Island College. He lives in Warwick.

Brian started his new role on June 1. Please join me in welcoming him to the family at Saint Elizabeth Community.
