Fighting the Common Cold
Luke McNamee of Troy, New York, a.k.a., "Paddy O’Sax" returned once again for St. Patrick’s Day and the residents at Slate Valley Center in Granville love him. For this March 7, 2022 appearance, the Recreation Department led by Andrea Kelley, got the residents into the Irish spirit, many dressed in green with the big top green hats. Paddy played one of his staple songs, Neil Diamond’s "Sweet Caroline" along with other fan favorites. "Paddy is booked a long time in advance and for a very good reason," said Kelley. "He’s more than the great sax playing, he dresses the part. Above all, he is so well-liked and puts on an amazing show for our residents. They just can’t wait until he comes."

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:
