“I have worked at Shaker Place since 2002. I started as a graduated practical nurse, worked as an LPN, staff RN, Nurse Manager, Assistant Director of Nursing, and now the Director of Nursing. Long-term care is my passion and I’ve always considered my residents and their families my family. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing team. “
– Rebecca Luce, RN, Director of Nursing -19 Years
“What an amazing transformation my workplace has gone through over the last two years. Spacious & airy, modern, light & bright resident rooms and common rooms. So much room for residents to spread out! Privacy and modern amenities were clearly a top priority in the new design.
Strong administrative team, including nursing credentials that you don’t always see in long-term care. In addition to PT/OT, we also have a full-time speech therapist and respiratory therapist. We also have a full time dedicated wound care nurse, infection control nurse, staff education team, and medical director,
I am proud to be part of the Shaker Place team and consider it my second home”

“Working at Shaker Place gives me such joy, especially when I interact with our residents. To hear their stories of dedication to former jobs, and even those who served our Country, they are told with joy and hope. This gives me the zeal to continue to work with the elderly. I was a recipient of a nursing scholarship which has helped tremendously in furthering my dream of qualifying as an LPN.”
