Coronavirus Update
View All UpdatesDear Patients, Residents and Families
Thank you for entrusting Genesis HealthCare to care for your loved one.
The health and safety of our patients, residents, and staff guide every decision we make, even the difficult ones. On August 2, 2021, to protect those who are living and working in our facilities, we announced a universal COVID-19 vaccination requirement for our employees, care partners, and onsite vendors. The vast majority of our patients and residents had already been vaccinated. However, despite voluntary staff vaccination rates that were higher than the industry average, the rapidly growing spread of the Delta variant caused us too much concern. As you well know, older adults and those with comorbidities are at the greatest risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection. Vaccination is one of the best tools available to us to create the safest environment for those in our care.read more

Caring and helpful staff
My husband's mom has been a resident at Bear Creek Center for almost a year now. The facility is rustic and has a nice big fire place she loves to enjoy. We have found the staff to be caring and helpful. She really struggled being there in the beginning due to her memory issues. In the last six months she seems content and happy. Her needs are being met and we know she is safe. She had been living alone and we were always very worried about her. The staff we have interacted with have been very positive and helpful, Stacy, Carie, Sharon and nurse Kathleen in particular. We are grateful she is cared for and safe!
Kindness and patience
Our mother, Bernice Trujillo (Ms. Bea) has been a resident at the Genesis facility in Morrison for 6 years now. Throughout those years we have visited her often, almost daily. Not being able to see here during this unprecedented time has been emotionally trying for us. One comfort we have is this: having spent so much time at your facility, visiting our mother, we have become well acquainted with the staff and we have confidence in the care she is receiving. For this we are grateful! We would like to especially acknowledge: Kay, director of nursing, who has been very accommodating and a model of compassion. Her staff on Wing One express their kindness and patience caring for our mother. Steve, your activity director, and his staff who make the Zoom visits enjoyable and possible. We appreciate their willingness to help us see our mom.
