Holiday Cheer from Kids at Essex Center
As featured in the Press Republican
The sixth-grade class from Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School made a surprise visit to Essex Center, singing Christmas carols to residents.
The eighth grade delivered handmade Christmas cards, and the 11th-grade class delivered brought baked goods for the residents.
\"What a beautiful occasion,\" Essex Center’s Director of Recreation Candy Goff said in a press release. \"The kids were unbelievable, the residents loved it!\"
And then, Essex Center did a Christmas card exchange with ELCS’s elementary grades.
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:
