Taco Day at Triboro
Either chicken or beef, what’s better than a delicious taco? Since Oct. 4 was National Taco Day, residents at Triboro Center on Teller Avenue not only had a full lunch of tacos and juices, but they took part in making them as well.
As they ate them in the Triboro Dining Room, they played cards, dominos or just told each other stories. The bottom line was that they had fun, ate and took part in the whole experience.
"We just love it when the residents get involved with creating something, whether it being a painting or drawing to creating tacos, it’s so special to them," said Rose Ferreira, recreation director at the 405-bed nursing and rehabilitation center. "They had a choice of chicken or beef and we made sure they had the cheese, onions, guacamole, salsa, rice and refried beans. They had so much fun."
The residents are now looking forward to next October for National Taco Day 2022.

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.
Sometimes that progress comes in large steps. More often, it comes in small ones. Either way, every step matters.
Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
