Broad Reach Healthcare Happenings

Awards: 



Newsweek and Statista have once again unveiled America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026, and Liberty Commons has been ranked #2 in Massachusetts! We’re especially proud to be the only nursing home on Cape Cod included on this year’s list. Rankings were based on four key pillars: performance data, recommendations from medical professionals, accreditations, and resident satisfaction. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, residents, and families who make Liberty Commons such a special community. 

Celebrations: 

National Assisted Living Week 2025:  Each September, communities across the country come together to celebrate National Assisted Living Week, a time to honor the meaningful connections, care, and joy shared between residents and staff. This year, our theme was “Ageless Adventure,” encouraging everyone to embrace life’s journeys, big and small.

Our residents fully embraced the spirit of adventure and throughout the week, enjoyed a variety of special outings and delicious dishes from around the world. From exploring new flavors to sharing laughter and stories, it was a week filled with fun, friendship, and celebration of the vibrant lives our residents continue to lead each day.

Environmental Services Week:  During Environmental Services Week, Broad Reach proudly recognized and celebrated the incredible members of our Housekeeping and Laundry Team, the behind-the-scenes heroes who help keep our communities running smoothly each and every day.

Their hard work ensures that our facilities remain clean, safe, and welcoming for residents, staff, and visitors alike. From maintaining spotless common areas to providing fresh linens and creating a comfortable environment, their dedication plays a vital role in the health and happiness of everyone we serve. To show our appreciation, we hosted a special luncheon in their honor, a small gesture of thanks for the big impact they make daily. We are so grateful for their commitment, care, and pride in their work!

Staff Spotlight: 

For Karen, our Staff Educator, the road to nursing wasn’t a straight line. Along the way, her various experiences built the foundation for her dedication to senior care.

Karen didn’t originally plan on becoming a nurse. She first studied to become a dietitian, then found herself drawn to the world of health education. With a bachelor’s degree in Health Education, Karen discovered that what she loved most was teaching others about health and wellness. That passion eventually led her into nursing school, where she built on her foundation in education and developed the skills to provide direct care.

Growing up in Norton, Massachusetts, Karen spent summers at her family’s cottage in Wellfleet, which gave her an enduring connection to the Cape. Years later, she and her husband decided to make Eastham their permanent home.

Having already spent time at Broad Reach through her consulting role, Karen was impressed with the culture and knew this was where she wanted to be.

Today, she brings her expertise and enthusiasm to training and educating the frontline caregivers of the future. Her thoughtful and compassionate approach inspires staff to grow in their roles, succeed in their work, and, most importantly, discover the rewards of caring for seniors. She is also deeply committed to recruiting and retaining caring individuals who will carry the nursing profession forward at Broad Reach Healthcare.
