Coronavirus Update
View All UpdatesDear Family and Friends,
We understand the huge toll that separation has taken on our residents and families. We are excited to announce that our Genesis-affiliated Centers will now allow indoor visitation at all times and for all residents (regardless of vaccination status), with the exception of the three scenarios listed below. CMS, the federal agency that regulates nursing centers, has updated its visitation guidance due to high resident vaccination rates and a drop in COVID-19 cases around the country. read more

Julia Smyth
Dementia Program DirectorI have been with Genesis for several years and have had the opportunity to experience one-on-one care as a Certified Nursing Assistant with residents who resided on a Memory Unit. I obtained a degree in Psychology from Concord University in 2013 and had intended to conduct research on Sensation and Perception and the way that these can affect mood and behaviors. My grandparents became ill around the time of my graduation and we had a difficult time caring for them during the transition phase between falling ill and being diagnosed. My Grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2016 and not long after my Grandmother was diagnosed with Dementia. I decided to change my career path and become a Certified Nursing Assistant in order to gain a better understanding of Dementia/Parkinson's in terms of behaviors and stages. I was able to gain this understanding while working on the Memory Unit as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I fell in love with engaging in meaningful interactions with the residents as well as providing care to individuals who experience Dementia/Alzheimer's/Parkinson's. At that time I had understood that I had found my walk in life. My goal as the Director of Mary's Garden is to help make a difference in the lives of affected individuals by encouraging meaningful interactions as well as providing staff with education based on the most progressive techniques to understand behavior and the importance of a daily routine, including activities that your loved one prefers to participate in.
