Bronx Center Reopens to Families
For the first time since March of 2020, families and friends are now able to reunite in person with their loved ones at the Bronx Center. One such reunion was incredibly special.
Every Friday around 4 p.m. since the pandemic began, Bronx Center resident Esau Germain arranged a Zoom call with many members of his family, including one close friend, James Whaley. Germain is part of a close family of several siblings and he even considers Whaley a brother.
On April 27, Whaley came to the Bronx Center and was able to have a one-hour reunion with Germain where they ate lunch together, got caught up on life and hugged since they have both been fully vaccinated. This reunion , according to both Whaley and Germain, something they will never forget. Friends who consider themselves brothers.

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:
