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

Lori began her career in long-term care in 1977 working as a nursing assistant. While her ultimate goal was to become a nursing home administrator, during her children's preschool years Lori worked in various capacities including activities, social services, restorative nursing, medication administration and the business office. Lori is passionate about long-term care; she believes it is a calling to serve and says her residents are the biggest blessings in her life. Lori has her Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Administration and has been serving as a Nursing Home Administrator since 1992.

Positive Outcomes
Patricia S. (patient since January 2020) was recently asked what she liked most about her stay. She replied: "I am thankful for being here and meeting good friends, especially my roommate. I fell and broke my femur and a shoulder. After a few surgeries, I came to Genesis. I've had a lot of prayers from staff, family and friends since I've been here. God has always been looking out for me and placed me here during a tough time in my life. I am thankful for being alive, my family, my friends and all of the progress I have made with the help of this staff!"
Orlando J. has resided at Mount Olive Center since July 2011. He says that "this is his home and we are his family." Orlando says that he is impressed with how staff has handled the "virus problem" and has not felt lonely or isolated in the least. To show his compassion and thankfulness, he decided to donate his entire stimulus check to three different charities, as an anonymous donor. Mr. Orlando J. stated that he wanted "to bless others just like I was blessed".
