Lindsey Bouchard
Administrator
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.
Your friend,
Lindsey Bouchard, LNHA
