It is our absolute honor to recognize Basir Shah, Scheduling Manager at Canyon Transitional Rehabilitation Center in Albuquerque, NM, as our 2025 Heart of Distinction $10,000 Award winner! 🏅🙌❤️

This award represents the best of the best. Leading With Heart reflects our commitment to compassion for not only our patients, residents and families, but also for one another as colleagues. As the Heart of Distinction recipient, Basir was ultimately selected from more than 3,000 weekly award winners across the organization in 2025.

Described as a true unicorn team member, Basir has dedicated over 1️⃣4️⃣ years with Canyon Transitional. Nominated under the Two Hearts Beat as One: Teamwork pillar, he is known for stepping in wherever he is needed and consistently supporting both his team and residents. ✨🦄

“If we’re short anywhere, he steps in, CNA, Med Tech, whatever is needed,” shared Erin McKee, Administrator. “He helps in every way without ever making it feel like a burden.”

No matter how busy the day gets, Basir always makes time for residents. From small daily acts of kindness to building genuine, lasting relationships, he truly embodies what Leading With Heart is about. 🤗

That same commitment carries through in how he supports his team, helping ensure the consistency and coverage that quality care depends on.

Kristen Morris, Chief Clinical Officer, shares how Basir’s work makes a difference, “Clinical excellence depends on consistency, coverage, and compassion. When someone understands the schedule and can also step into care delivery, it creates stability for residents and confidence for the team. That is what Leading With Heart looks like, and I am thrilled to see Basir recognized with this award.”

Basir’s impact extends far beyond any single role, shaping both the care experience and the culture around him.❤️

Watch as we celebrate this well-deserved recognition.

The West showed UP last night in New Mexico—and let’s just say… they know how to throw down a spicy celebration. 🌶️🔥
From the moment you walked in, the energy was undeniable. Laughter, pride, and pure joy filled the room as we came together to celebrate the incredible teams who bring our mission to life every single day. This wasn’t just an awards ceremony—it was a reflection of what happens when passion, purpose, and people collide.
And yes… New Mexico brought the flavor. Chile, culture, and a whole lot of heart made the night unforgettable. 🌶️
But beyond the fun, what stood out most were the stories—the moments of compassion, teamwork, and excellence that define what it truly means to Lead with Heart. Every award represented lives touched, standards raised, and teams going above and beyond.
To our New Mexico & Washington teams—thank you for setting the bar high and reminding us all what it looks like to show up with pride, energy, and heart.

🧠💜 The Power of Us. The Power of Now.

Lillian Reda, Genesis' National Director of Memory Support Clinical Practice and Education, recently attended the Alzheimer's Association Community Leaders Summit in Anaheim, CA.

This inspiring gathering brings together community leaders from across the country to share ideas, strengthen partnerships, and advance a collective vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other forms of dementia. The summit energizes participants to expand outreach, support, and impact in communities nationwide.

Reflecting on the experience, Lillian shared, “It was truly an impactful learning and networking experience. The ‘purple’ passion among attendees, the powerful personal stories shared, and the insights into the current momentum in care and treatment advancements were not only inspiring but absolutely energizing.”

Genesis is also proud to mark 17 years of participation as a National Team supporting Walk to End Alzheimer’s and Do What You Love to End ALZ, along with our continued efforts to expand access to education, support programs, advocacy, and research.

❤️🏡 More Than Care. It’s Home.

Take a moment to listen as residents from a few of our New Mexico affiliated centers share their journeys and how their stay became a place they now call home. What may begin as a short-term stay often grows into lasting connections built on trust, comfort, and genuine care.

From the kitchen 🍽️ to the front desk 🛎️ to leadership 💼, our team members are described as family — listening, showing up, and being there when it matters most.

Their stories say it best. This is a place where people feel comfortable, cared for, and supported in living fully each day, because here there’s something for everyone… and everyone matters.
