Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a cornerstone of post-acute and long-term care in Atwater, California, offering skilled nursing services to residents of Merced County and the broader Northern San Joaquin Valley. Located at 1685 Shaffer Road, the facility is managed by Generations Healthcare, a company with deep roots in California skilled nursing that prioritizes clinical quality, resident dignity, and family engagement. Atwater is a welcoming Central Valley city with a proud community identity shaped in part by its connection to Castle Air Force Base — now home to the remarkable Castle Air Museum, one of the finest aviation heritage sites in the western United States. The museum's collection of over 60 historic military aircraft draws visitors from across the region and serves as a source of local pride. For residents who served in the military, the museum holds special meaning, and for family members visiting from out of town, it offers a worthwhile destination. The city's parks, including Applegate Park in nearby Merced — with its free zoo, duck pond, and wide lawns — provide pleasant outdoor options for families during visits. Atwater Community Park and several local recreation areas offer accessible green space closer to home. For medical needs, Anberry's location near Merced is a significant advantage. Mercy Medical Center Merced, part of Dignity Health, is the county's primary acute care hospital with a comprehensive emergency department, surgical services, and specialty care. UC San Diego Health's partnership with Mercy adds academic medical resources to the regional healthcare ecosystem. Merced itself offers shopping at Merced Mall, diverse dining along Highway 59 and R Street, and community amenities that make family visits comfortable and convenient. Atwater's own commercial corridor provides everyday necessities close to the facility. Generations Healthcare's management of Anberry brings a culture of accountability, staff continuity, and thoughtful care planning. Whether supporting a resident through post-surgical rehabilitation or providing compassionate long-term nursing care, Anberry's team is committed to treating every resident as a valued individual — not just a patient.
