In 1978, Ruth Heins, who had retired to Townshend in the mid-1950’s and until her death was active in community affairs, willed her home to Grace Cottage. During the past twenty-five years, over one hundred residents have called Heins Home their home-awayfrom- home. Currently there are thirteen people residing at Heins Home, with a staff of eight full-time employees who cover three shifts daily. All meals and snacks are prepared for residents in the Heins Home kitchen, and laundry service is provided. In addition, assistance with medications and personal care is provided, if needed. Residents may decorate their rooms as they choose, and daily activities, such as bingo, current events, shuffleboard, sing-alongs and other forms of entertainment are provided for Heins Home residents at Grace Cottage Adult Day Services.

Heins Home , with 13 residents, is a licensed residential care home celebrating its Silver Anniversary this year. With Zero Deficiencies in state inspections for the second consecutive year, Heins Home is noted for quality eldercare.
