New Fun & Fitness at the Essex Center
Essex Center in Elizabethtown, NY is offering their residents a new fun exercise fitness program called, "New Fun and Fitness" and it’s a program that combines the facility’s Therapy Department with the Activity Department. Started in mid-November and excellent results have already being seen. Therapists make sure their clientele are doing the moves correctly and Activities leads the class through a very safe therapy approved fun workout. The exercises involve stretches, yoga, endurance and strength training exercises and through this class the staff have seen an increase in the residents’ safety awareness, proprioceptive awareness, flexibility, cognition, and an increase in rehabilitation patient’s participation in other activity programs.

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.

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