Lally the Bunny Visits Northern Riverview
On both March 19 and March 25th at Northern Riverview on Route 9W in Haverstraw, the Recreation team led by Director Lori Silverstein, toured Lally Jo, the facility’s pet therapy black bunny through the facility. Both residents and staff got to hold and pet Lally Jo and the gorgeous bunny loved every minute of the attention. Lally Jo is a bunny who was adopted from Animal Interactions, a non-profit who provides recreational, educational, and therapeutic animal assisted activities. According to Silverstein, Lally Jo brings so much joy, comfort and sensory stimulation to everyone she meets. Northern Riverview is never short on activities for the residents because they know that smiles on the faces of their residents go such a long way. In these photos, Silverstein introduces Lally Jo to both the residents and staff.

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:
