ATWATER, Calif., Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Generations Healthcare and Meritage Healthcare announce their partnership to provide a new behavioral health facility in Atwater. The Meritage facility known as Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will now include a behavioral health treatment program, with the help of Generations Healthcare, which has established behavioral care facilities throughout California.
Anberry's new behavioral health treatment center will focus primarily on post-hospitalization transitional care, caring for patients with varying degrees of physical ailments and secondary diagnoses of mental illness.
"We've been looking at doing a number of different things over the last three years or so," said Jerry Holloway, president of Anberry. "When we were approached with this opportunity, it seemed like the perfect fit. There is a big need in the Merced County area for behavioral health facilities."
Although Meritage has not yet attempted the complicated endeavor of establishing a behavioral health care facility, Generations is equipped with the knowledge and contacts to make this a success.
"They know how to maneuver through a lot of the hoops because they've already done it," Holloway said. "It just made a lot of sense to work out a deal, and basically it's going to be a 50-50 partnership."
"Launching a behavioral healthcare facility is a unique challenge, and we are pleased to be able to share what we've learned to help Anberry," said Jamie Boehs, administrator of Bradley Court, a behavioral health facility of Generations Healthcare. "As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, solutions like this partnership can help meet pressing needs for behavioral health care."
While Anberry will provide new and expanded services, the facility aims to maintain its reputation for excellent care through the transition and into the future.
"We have high name recognition," said Holloway. "We still have a really good reputation in the community."
More news regarding the addition of behavioral health services to Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will be forthcoming.
