Musical Performances in Nursing Facilities
A perfect example of how music appreciation and music therapy exercise the mind was seen throughout the week of September 10 at Washington Center in Argyle, New York.

Both musical acts are based out of Hartford, New York.

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.

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.

Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
