Steere House Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center’s Board of Directors names Joshua Segal as the new Executive Director / Administrator. As new Executive Director, Segal will oversee a comprehensive nursing facility that provides short-term and long-term care services. Segal has over 20 years’ experience working in nursing facilities and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will lead the organization to continued growth. He will succeed, Julie Richard, long-time serving Administrator and assume responsibilities on June 1.
Segal is a lifelong Rhode Islander. His first position as a financial services consultant to residents and families, inspired him to return to school and earn a degree in Healthcare Administration. Since, he has established a track record of effective leadership and regulatory compliance. Segal has guided facilities to a 5-star rating with CMS and has the proven ability to navigate the ever-changing regulatory environment. He is a licensed nursing home administrator in the state of Rhode Island and is a member of the Rhode Island Health Care Association. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration.
“I love the fact that we can have a positive impact on people’s lives in their time of need,” Segal said. “I take great pride in the success stories of residents, who have improved their quality of life through the services we provide.”
"The Steere House Board of Directors is proud to welcome Joshua Segal into our community and look forward to his leadership in fulfilling our mission as we enter a new chapter in the growth of our organization. Joshua is committed to achieving high-quality care for all of our residents and we feel he is the best in the future of long-term care”, says Linda Cannistra, Board President.
Residential Properties Names Belanger
Residential Properties Ltd. announced the addition of Broker Associate Andrea Belanger to the team of real estate professionals at RPL’s Providence office. In addition to providing clients with listing services, broker price opinions, buyer consults, and more, Andrea brings to RPL a love of Southern New England and an enthusiasm for its history and architecture.
Bands and brands
Born in Fall River, Andrea is a native New Englander. “We have the privilege of experiencing the best that each season has to offer,” Belanger said. “There's something about life on the East Coast that's different from anywhere else in the country.” She is the daughter of a carpenter and a real estate agent, to whom she attributes much of her professionalism and work ethic. She arrived at her current career in a unique way, however, through rock ‘n’ roll. “Music and real estate may seem worlds apart, but the time I spent as a touring and recording musician shaped who I am as a broker – creative, resourceful, empathetic, and determined,” Belanger noted. “Being the only woman and leader of a six-piece rock band straight out of college was a bit like herding cats! Real estate can be much the same; it's a juggling act of staying ahead of dates and deadlines, plus extreme focus and coordination.”
As an agent, Andrea was determined to partner with a brokerage ready to meet her needs as a marketer, strategist, lender, inspector, and estimator. Her research pointed to RPL as having the strongest East Side market share and the most impressive brand presence. “I've had my eye on Residential Properties since I became licensed back in 2016,” Belanger said. “The company is a force of nature here in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. You can barely drive down any Providence street without seeing the iconic sign,” Belanger added. “When I bought my house on the East Side this past fall, I knew I was looking for a change of brand.
A new gig
Another value Andrea’s father passed down was giving back to the community. She grew up volunteering with her dad, who was the founding president of the Narrows Center for the Arts, a non-profit devoted to visual and performing arts which played a significant role in her becoming a musician. Other community initiatives include her involvement in preservation. “During the pandemic, and even though we are both residents of Rhode Island, my dad and I served as board members on the Fall River Preservation Society,” Belanger said. “Historic preservation and creative re-use are very important to me as a person and as a broker. Most recently, I've joined the Summit Neighborhood Association as their newest board member and am excited to take part in their mission to serve our East Side community.”
With her partner Shawn, an 11-year-old cat named Beethoven, and a one-year-old Bluetick Coonhound called Juniper, Andrea spends free moments renovating her 1800s East Side farmhouse with her father. Her hope is to build an urban homestead that will blend her love of historic preservation and sustainability. As she begins her new venture with RPL, Andrea is excited to bring to her clients not only her talents, but genuine trust. “I'm looking forward to becoming a greater community resource as a broker and seeing my relationship to the field change and grow over time!” Belanger said. “At the heart of my business is a desire to prepare my clients with the education they need to make confident and informed decisions unique to their goals. Whether it's navigating multiple offer situations or laser-focused listing strategy, I always have my clients' best interests in mind. In real estate as in music, I feel it's all about the personal connections we make along our paths.”
