History

The City of Graceville built Grace Home 1976 as a 60-bed, skilled nursing senior home. The city contracted with the Franciscan Sisters of Rochester, Minnesota, to manage the facility. When city officials decided to withdraw from Grace Home, the Missionary Benedictine Sisters (who owned Holy Trinity Hospital) took over management. In June 1996, the Sisters purchased Grace Home from the city. They owned and operated Grace Home until acquired by Essentia Health in October 2010.

Grace Home sits next to Holy Trinity Hospital and Graceville Clinic—the home’s original location. Grace Home continues to adapt to the changes and needs of seniors. This includes creating more private rooms for greater comfort.
