Generations Healthcare Takes Charge of Coastal Oaks Care Center

In a significant move aimed at improving healthcare services in California’s Central Coast, Generations Healthcare has announced its acquisition of management roles at the Coastal Oaks Care Center, formerly known as the Danish Care Center. Situated in Atascadero, California, this 65-bed skilled nursing facility is poised to undergo a transformation that promises to enhance its operational efficiency and patient care standards.

A Critical Need

Recognizing the urgent demand for better behavioral health services in the region, Generations Healthcare plans to integrate specialized behavioral health programs within the Coastal Oaks framework. As the Director of Business Development for Behavioral Health at Generations, Thomas Jurbala stated, “Expanding access to behavioral health services is essential, especially in communities like the Central Coast where the need is so great.” This initiative reflects the company's commitment to providing comprehensive care that addresses both physical and mental health.

Collaboration with Compass Health

The transition to new management will feature ongoing collaboration with Compass Health, Inc., the prior operator of the facility. Darren Smith, CEO of Compass Health, expressed optimism about this partnership, highlighting that it aligns with their mission of promoting holistic wellness in the community. “The renovated facility, operated by Life Generations Healthcare, will expand access to critical mental health services in San Luis Obispo County,” Smith noted, emphasizing the infrastructure improvement that will include 32 Special Treatment Program beds and 33 beds focused on individuals with behavioral health needs.

This collaboration is critical as it not only ensures a smooth transition but also maintains the quality and depth of services that the local community requires. Compass Health will continue to oversee its other nursing and assisted living facilities in the area, reinforcing its role as a community-focused organization.

Enhancing Patient Care Standards

With Generations Healthcare at the helm, patients at Coastal Oaks Care Center can expect a higher standard of compassionate care. The aim is to create a supportive environment tailored for individuals needing integrated psychiatric care alongside traditional skilled nursing services. This holistic approach aligns with Generations' founding philosophy, which emphasizes a sacred stewardship of caring for the elderly and those in need.

Since its inception in 1998 with just one skilled nursing facility, Generations Healthcare has grown significantly, now managing 35 facilities with over 3,600 licensed beds, of which 15 specialize in behavioral health services. This expansion into Coastal Oaks Care Center marks another step in their journey to provide stellar health solutions across California.

Looking Ahead

As the facility prepares for this transition, both Generations Healthcare and Compass Health remain focused on ensuring the highest quality of care for their patients. The integration of behavioral health programs at Coastal Oaks is set to pave the way for a more comprehensive healthcare model in San Luis Obispo County, highlighting the importance of community-based healthcare initiatives.
