Decade-themed Party at Corning Center
This week being National Nursing Home Week, Corning Center in Corning, New York, did a decades-theme this week as the staff entertained their residents with dressing up for every decade from the 1960s to the present. At the 120-bed skilled nursing facility on East First Street, the building was flooded with tie-dye shirts, Madonna look-alikes, leggings and all kinds of bright colors. Recreation Director Shannon Robertson says that this theme appeals to everyone, “it’s a blast revisiting the past decades and being able to relive our youth by getting away with wearing familiar clothing from our younger years.” National Nursing Home is all this week, May 15 through the 20th.

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:
