Our Founder & Managing Partner
Adam Anthony is the founder and Managing Partner of Generations Senior Living. He was inspired to bring the concept of Personalized Memory Care Assisted Living to serve residents of The Villages® community by witnessing his grandparents progress through different facilities as they aged and their requirements for care advanced. Sometimes while visiting his grandparents he would find them placed in a wheelchair in a hallway alongside dozens of other residents watching TV for hours. Other times he would visit and witness elderly men and women staring sadly and silently out their window and he would feel more should be done to engage them. These experiences gave him a desire to change the way that Memory Care Assisted Living care is provided to residents. Adam spent several years shadowing other assisted living operators before establishing Generations Senior Living in 2016 to provide high-quality care for seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Adam and his wife are parents to 4 boys who are 8th generation Floridians. He enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, watching sports, and reading a good book.
Adam has completed the CORE competency exam administered by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, in addition to countless hours of courses and training about assisted living and memory care subjects, including Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and resident care. Adam is a State of Florida certified Assisted Living Facility Administrator.
