Aww! Schenectady Center gets a cute visit from baby lambs

On March 28, Linda Cole from Kasey’s cast-a-ways bait shop and fun farm, an intimate animal farm from Port Jervis, New York, brought two one-month-old baby lambs, Sonny and Cher, named after the famous 1960s singing and TV duo, to meet the residents at Schenectady Center on Altamont Avenue. Along with Ms. Cole, the Recreation team toured the building bringing all of the smiles, laughter, and love to the residents and staff as they spent quality time with the baby lambs. The residents will be treated again next month with more pet therapy at the 240-bed skilled nursing facility.

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:
