Schenectady Pancake Day
National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW) comes every year following Mother’s Day and has been since 1967. At Northern Riverview In Haverstraw, each day from May 9th to the 15th, the Recreation team, led by Lori Silverstein had something special every day. May 9th kicked off the week with Latin Day, whereby flags representing the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Ecuador, and El Salvador were displayed and the staff enjoyed a delicious lunch of stew, plantains, corn, and salad all prepared internally by the kitchen staff. Salsa and Bachata music played and staff danced. The next day, residents enjoyed a talent show performed by both staff and fellow residents. Performances included a bird chirping, singing, a hula hoop expert, salsa dancers, a guitarist, a disco dancer, and a comedian. Videos can be enjoyed on the facility’s Facebook page. A Chinese food lunch was then enjoyed by all. The game Name That Tune was featured on May 12 where prizes were given out. The staff then enjoyed ices and ice cream, courtesy of Kangaroo Swirls who had a truck parked outside of the facility in the parking lot off of Route 9W. Closing our Nursing Week, everyone enjoyed delicious pizza, courtesy of Dr. Steinberg and his clinical team as a thank you to the hard work by the nursing department, a beautiful cake was the had by all and staff were given an a great bluetooth speaker as a special gift of appreciation.

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:
