Therapy Pigs Return to Slate Valley
On April 8, 2023, the pigs returned to visit the residents at Slate Valley Center in Granville, New York, for the first time since before the pandemic, and what a beautiful site it was to see. From the great folks at Traveling Therapy Pigs, Director Terry Hutchinson brought her two famous pigs, Albert EinSwine and Tamme Swine-ette, and the 88-bed nursing facility residents were full of laughs and love for these stink-less farm friends. Slate Valley Center Recreation Director Andrea Kelley loved the visit so much that Terry’s pigs will be back on a monthly basis. From left to right, residents Joan Hall, Mike Bruckner, and Art Norton all had a great time.

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:
