(Gilmer, TX) – Focused Care at Gilmer, one of 23 facilities throughout Texas operated by Focused Post Acute Care Partners (FPACP), formally introduced its community to Gilmer today with a ribbon cutting and Open House to showcase new renovations and upgrades and meet the caregiving team members.

“It is important for us to welcome Gilmer citizens and elected officials into our community as they welcome us into theirs,” said Vincent Ray, facility administrator for Focused Care at Gilmer. “Focused Care aims to provide a high quality care choice for short term rehab and long term care and we are excited to show the Gilmer community how we are doing that.”

Inviting the community into the newly renovated facility for an Open House tour of private suites, the therapy gym and dining hall and nurse’s station, Focused Care at Gilmer staff will introduce the Focused Care mantra found on its building and lobbying signs: It Takes a Minute to Change a Life. Focused Care is dedicated to recruiting staff whose mission aligns with the company’s – and that is to meet the expectation of excellence every day in delivering care to residents.

Additionally, Focused Care at Gilmer has named resident halls after residents who have passed on and family members of those residents will be on hand to observe the commemoration.

The festivities began with Gilmer Mayor Tim Marshall on hand to cut the ribbon.

FPACP was formed in 2016, currently has 1500 employees providing skilled nursing care to an estimated 1300 residents throughout Texas. Focused Care communities can be found largely in rural regions in the Lone Star State with smaller populations and older communities.

“We are providing patient-centered care tailored to individual needs and we are mindful that whether a resident is short or long stay in our community, we want their experience here to be meaningful,” said Mark McKenzie, CEO and founder of FPACP. “Focused Care has chosen to provide care in communities that adhere to the values we embody as a company. We believe in dignity, respect and excellence.”
