Meet Our Team

My name is Lindsey Bouchard. I live in Wrentham, MA along with my Maltipoo Ketel. I have been in healthcare since 2008. I have my Bachelor of Healthcare Administration and my nursing home administrator’s license. My journey all started when I took a dietary aid position at 15 years old and fell in love with long-term care. I became an assistant administrator at a large family-owned and operated center in 2013 and was promoted to administrator there in the beginning of 2021. From there my journey brought me to Elmhurst Rehabilitation and Healthcare center in the summer of 2023. I absolutely love what I do, and I am committed to making an impact every day in the lives of the residents here at Elmhurst.

Simone has worked in the nursing field since 2007. She has worked in a variety of settings, including subacute and acute rehabilitation, home healthcare, community healthcare, and geriatric psychology. Her job path changed dramatically in 2007 when she began working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Her mother is a nurse, and her grandma was a nursing assistant. Furthermore, her great-grandmother was well-versed in excellent cures for curing illness and making others feel better. It felt as if she was called to help others in the world of healthcare. After a patient suggested that she should consider becoming a nurse, she chose to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. This event inspired her to advance her career and become a Registered Nurse. Her ultimate career aim is to be a passionate advocate for her patients, staff, and the nursing profession, with an influence that extends beyond the walls of the nursing home. This goal is more than just a job or a profession. Her ultimate goal is to accomplish this goal, which is a humanitarian act in keeping with her nursing vocation.
