Genesis is growing
The Genesis Senior Emotional Care (SEC)
program is an inpatient service at Regional
Medical Center (RMC) Jacksonville. An
experienced team of medical doctors,
psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, an
activities coordinator, and physical, speech
and occupational therapists delivers personalized,
compassionate care for senior adults experiencing serious behavioral or
emotional issues. The goal is to help each patient return to an optimal level of
functioning.
This summer, Genesis SEC will more than double its patient capacity, growing
from 10 to 25 inpatient beds. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other types
of dementia—as well as those with issues such as depression, schizophrenia and
bipolar disorder—benefit from our holistic approach. We address behavioral
and psychiatric issues in conjunction with preexisting medical conditions, such
as diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis.
Under the guidance of Eddie Huggins, MD, Medical Director, Genesis SEC
provides new hope for seniors with treatment that integrates behavioral
interventions, therapy, and medication evaluation and management to
improve longevity and quality of life.
