View All UpdatesDear Family and Friends,
As communities start to loosen COVID-19 restrictions, we wanted to share an update on visitation guidelines. Genesis-affiliated centers are currently offering indoor visitation 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

Dr. Cadigan
Medical DirectorDr. Cadigan got her inspiration to be a doctor while working as a spinal cord trauma nurse. She completed her medical education at Northwestern University and her residency at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine, after which she spent a fellowship year at Johns Hopkins which jump started her love of the medically complex. She worked in a clinical practice for 18 years and also worked in medical education where she helped to establish the MMC-Tufts Medical School program. After a time she moved back to Chicago to be with her Dad until his death. Dr. Cadigan has a love of skilled nursing, and when given the opportunity, returned to her "heart home", Maine. This move also allowed her to be closer to her children. Her role at Genesis combines her love of rural Maine, care of skilled and long term care patients, and an important leadership position in which she hopes to make a positive and sustaining impact. In light of the potential harm the pandemic poses for nursing home residents in particular, Dr. Cadigan is vigilant in ensuring the safety and health of Genesis Healthcare’s patients. She stands behind the initiatives and processes Genesis has put in place and says, Safety is our top priority!
