Executive Director

“My name is Melissa Grantier and I have recently taken on the role of Executive Director at the Hart Comfort House in Wellsville. I attended Alfred State College and Jamestown Community College, becoming a nurse in 2016. I have worked in that role ever since. I have volunteered sporadically over the past 13 years since the Hart House first opened and find this work rewarding by giving back to the community. Offering compassion and empathy to our residents and their families is such an important part of our role at the Hart House. Listening to our residents and sharing conversations with them helps to built trust and creates a special bond. I feel we have positively touched so many people over the years during a time when families need support the most. My hope is to continue the legacy that has been created here and continue helping our community near and far. I would also like to thank Scott Swift who has been my mentor at the Hart House. His guidance and support has helped me transition into this role.”

Volunteer Coordinator

“I am very excited to have become the Volunteers Coordinator here at the Hart Comfort house. I bring with me a passion for all aspects of wellbeing and family services. I was born and raised in the outskirts of London England and have ten plus years’ experience in Community Social care. I am quite new to country living and enjoy the beauty of Alleghany County and the amazing people who live here. I enjoy painting, gardening, and cooking in my spare time. Stop by and say hello, if you are stopping by.” Rebecca Maddox
