Black Pony Brings Joy to Nursing Home Residents
During the last week of April, Linda Cole from Kasey’s Cast-a-Ways in Port Jervis, New York, brought 17-year-old Dugan, a beautiful black pony all dressed up as a mystical unicorn, to Ontario Center, the 98-bed skilled nursing facility in Canandaigua. Here, resident JoAnne Robenolt visits with Dugan through the window at the facility.

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:
