Shiloh Baptist Church Father’s Day Gifts
On June 15, the staff at Shiloh Baptist Church on Tompkins Avenue in Brooklyn made their way to Concord Nursing & Rehabilitation, the 140-bed skilled nursing home on Madison Street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, with a number of big white bags filled with all kinds of toiletries, all for the upcoming Father’s Day weekend. These bags contained all kinds of beautiful smelling soaps, shampoos, deodorants, dental products, and more. Concord’s Recreation Director Aracelis Abreu was teary-eyed and taken back by the highly generous gifts and what’s more, is that the residents were all smiles, loving the gifts.
Additionally, all of the women from the church also did a brief service, and then gifts were given out to the residents’ dads.

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:
