Colleen Corter
Administrator
Colleen Corter is the Administrator at Generations at Regency and has spent the last five years in healthcare. In her role, she ensures the building runs smoothly while supporting staff in providing high quality, compassionate care to every resident. Her focus is creating an environment where residents feel safe, respected, and truly at home.
Colleen holds a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration, Public Health, and Communication and is a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. Her passion for senior care began while helping care for her grandmother who was living with dementia, an experience that showed her how important support and guidance can be for both residents and their families during difficult times.
What Colleen enjoys most about her work is getting to know residents as individuals and being a trusted resource for families. She also takes pride in building a strong, collaborative team across all departments, knowing that great care starts with the people providing it.
One of Colleen’s proudest accomplishments is helping foster a culture where residents feel heard and staff feel supported, recognizing that the smallest moments of care often make the biggest impact.
Outside of work, Colleen is the head varsity lacrosse coach for a local high school, where she enjoys mentoring young athletes and encouraging teamwork.
Colleen’s approach to leadership is rooted in a simple belief: every resident deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect. This is their home, and it should always be treated that way.
Cyd Mendoza
Director of Nursing
With a background in education, Cydney Mendoza is a natural fit as the captain of Regency’s nursing department.
The director of nursing’s primary task is to continuously assess the quality of Regency’s programs and make improvements where possible. One of Cydney’s main areas of focus is staff training and developemnt.
“The skill in it is the ability to get the information across, where you get people excited about learning,” Cydney said. “I enjoy the teaching part, because my background is in education.”
A native of Chicago, Cydney studied teaching at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. She entered the field of nursing after her mother began a battle with cancer; at the hospital where her mother received treatment, Cyd studied how the nurses treated their patients as whole people, not room occupants. She brings this attentiveness to Regency.
