March marks National Nutrition Month!

Fueling our bodies with nutritious foods not only aids physical recovery but also enhances mental well-being.

This month, focus on powering your bodies and minds with nutritious foods that help you feel healthy and happy!

How did Generations Healthcare get its start?

We began operations in January 1998 with a single 89-bed skilled nursing facility. Since then, we have grown to 29 facilities comprising over 3,300 licensed beds!

When Generations began business, we started with a very simple business strategy: focus on quality and service while remaining mindful of the challenges and changes facing older adults in today’s world. Since our start, Generations has established an excellent reputation in the communities served by our facilities. We’ve built this reputation through a concerted focus on quality and service.

What is group therapy, and why is it important?

In group therapy, participants are exposed to different points of view. There’s an opportunity to give and receive support from others. Individuals learn to improve their communication skills, become more self-aware, and express their feelings.

We offer both individual and group therapy at many of our locations at Generations Healthcare. If you or someone you know is in need of these services, reach out to us to find a facility near you.

Happy Valentine's Day from Generations Healthcare!

We're grateful for the love and support that surrounds us every day. Sending warm wishes to all our staff and residents and their families!

What's the difference between psychology and psychiatry?

While both types of providers address mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges, they do so through different lenses.

Psychologists use practices like talk therapy to uncover underlying issues. They help patients understand how their thoughts and behaviors interconnect, equipping patients with new perspectives to foster healthier habits and behaviors.

On the other hand, psychiatrists take a more biological approach, examining brain chemistry and other physiological factors influencing emotions and behaviors. With their medical expertise, they can prescribe medications and utilize diagnostic tools.

At Generations Healthcare, we provide a range of psychiatric and psychological services across our facilities. Reach out to us to discover the ideal solution for your needs.

Who is Generations Healthcare?

Generations Healthcare is proud to be at the forefront of patient care and treatment. Through skilled nursing and behavioral health programs, our facility teams specialize in getting patients back on their feet and back into their homes. In cases where home is not the final goal, our memory care and assisted living services ease our residents’ conditions and improve their quality of life.

Happy National Activity Professionals Week!

This week, we celebrate a fantastic activities department that does an amazing job of putting smiles on our residents’ faces. Our activities department develops and implements a variety of therapeutic recreational programs, encouraging social interaction and stimulating mental well-being and enthusiasm for life.

Thanks for all you do, activities team!
