Wicked Local
As the patients and staff of the Elizabeth Seton Residence on Oakland Street got their first COVID-19 vaccinations on Jan. 6, a new administrative structure was in the process of being implemented.
The 84-bed Elizabeth Seton Residence, originally built for Sisters who needed nursing care, was granted a license in 1980 to operate a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. The adjacent 76-bed Marillac Residence, formerly a rest home for religious women, was granted a license to open its facility to the general public in 2017. Both facilities are now open to people of all religious traditions, cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds.
