Rebecca Koepsell

Assistant Executive Director

Rebecca knew from a young age she wanted to help people. She credits her grandpa for the reason she fell in love with senior living. He taught her to work hard, never give up on her dreams, and to help others whenever she could. The thing Rebecca enjoys most about her role as Assistant Executive Director is getting to know the residents. She loves seeing a smile on their face when they talk about their interests and families. Rebecca also understands that moving into senior living is a time of change and can often be stressful for those involved. She believes it’s important to have compassion, understanding, and empathy during those times that may be challenging. When Rebecca isn’t at Grace Commons she loves trying new restaurants and hopes to travel more. She also enjoys hunting with her dad and brother at their cabin up north, and in the summer months she enjoys spending the weekend by the lake. She lives by the motto “Forgive yourself and others, say sorry, tell people how much they mean to you, and never hold a grudge.”

Erin Gutsmiedl

Executive Director

Erin is our amazing Executive Director at Grace Commons! Erin had always seen herself on the acute side of care, but her first position out of college was in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) and she fell in love. Erin loves that she gets the opportunity to love and care about the residents in the community and make a difference in their lives. Erin prides herself in coming to work every day with genuine care, follow through and love. Something working with the residents has taught Erin is that there is joy in everything you do, sometimes you just have to look deep to find it! On the days Erin isn’t at Grace Commons you might find her reading a book on her patio with a cup of coffee, spending time with her family at cookouts, bonfires and kids adventures or putting a new stamp on her passport.

Dawn Graham

Regional Outreach Liaison

If you haven’t met Dawn yet, chances are that she will seek you out. Friendly and outgoing, Dawn is a people person who loves to meet new friends and learn their stories. Senior living is a perfect fit for Dawn as she loves to stay busy and help people enjoy their lives. Caring and kind, Dawn likes to stay active, playing tennis and golf or hitting the local pool for a swim. Her motto is to “treat every person you meet with kindness, as you never know what someone is going through”. True indeed! When Dawn was little, she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but today she is happy to be caring for her own children, kittens and the residents of Grace Commons – and we couldn’t be happier to have her with us!
