Northern Riverview Remembers 9/11
During the reading of the names broadcasted from the World Trade Center site on the morning of September 11, 2023, residents closer to home at Northern Riverview in Haverstraw on Route 9W wanted to give their thoughts about what that tragic day has meant to them now that 22 years have passed. It was surely an emotional exercise for the residents as they told stories of where they were and what they were doing on that tragic day. The Recreation Department, headed by Director Lori Silverstein, had the residents paint an origami crane and then write their own messages with their picture. In Japanese culture, cranes are mystical animals that symbolize long life and healing. Lori and the team took all of the paintings and placed them on a wall in one of the big day rooms. Later in the day, the residents watched the documentary “9/11 20 Years Later.”

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:
