Saint
Elizabeth Home, East Greenwich
 Saint
Elizabeth Home was founded by Rev. David Greer, Rector and a
group of churchwomen from Grace Episcopal Church in Providence.
These individuals recognized that there were limited services
for frail, older women who had no family and few financial resources.
They visited needy women in their homes and brought food, medicine
and clothing. Soon, however, they realized the need for doctors,
regular meals and a 24-hour supervision.
As a result, a home was purchased on Melrose Street in Providence
that provided medical care in a home-like environment - one
of the first long-term care facilities in Rhode Island. With
continued financial and volunteer support from the community,
Saint Elizabeth Home continued to grow and currently serves
120 men and women.
In July, 2001, the New Saint Elizabeth Home was opened in East
Greenwich, located at the site of the old Hilltop Drive-in.
Saint Elizabeth is named after Saint Elizabeth of Hungary,
canonized for her service to the poor and sick. Our logo
is a single rose to celebrate the miracle of Saint Elizabeth.
In the legend of Saint Elizabeth, she gave aid to the
poor in direct conflict with orders of the Lord of the
Castle, her uncle. During one of her visits of mercy,
guards caught her and demanded to see the contents of
her basket. Instead of seeing the bread she was carrying,
the guards found only roses.
