GUILDERLAND CENTER — The Grand at Guilderland, a 127-bed nursing facility that provides rehabilitation and nursing services to patients who require either short- or long-term nursing care following hospitalization, has named Michele Weber director of finance.

In her new role, the Burnt Hills resident will handle the facility’s day-to-day finances. This includes collecting payments for services, handling all residents’ funds and assisting families with Medicaid.

Weber, who has 30 years of experience in the field of long-term care, previously worked in nursing homes and elder law firms. Prior to that, she owned her own business assisting families facing the difficult decision of placing someone they love in a nursing home. This included guiding them handling their finances and filing necessary paperwork with the New York State Department of Social Services.

A graduate of Russell Sage College in Troy, Weber holds a degree in psychology and special education. She serves as a support group leader for the Alzheimer’s Association of Northeastern New York.
