National Skilled Nursing Care Week 2022 (NSNCW) was a great time at New Paltz Center on Jansen Road in New Paltz from May 9 through the 14th. The theme this year was “going back to the 1980s” where the Recreation team, led by Director Samantha Cerero, has both staff and residents play the part and dress up during the height of the Madonna – Duran Duran MTV era. Administration had a special lunch for the nurses showing deep appreciation for the hard work they have done over the past year. Residents had a blast with different blow-up gadgets from the Reagan era. Cerero has close ties to many of the local companies in the Hudson Valley and many made gift certificate donations to the facility giving it was NSNCW. These included Adams Fair Acre Farms of Kingston, Topps, RinoÕs Pizza of New Paltz and the Hudson Valley Renegades donated a family four pack of tickets with Renegades baseball caps. NSNCW was established by the American Health Care Association in 1967 and this week-long observance starts each year following Mother’s Day through the following Saturday.

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:
