Staff Recognition at Ontario Center
Every year towards the end of January, staff who work in activities or recreation departments across the country are noticed for their hard work to keep residents and patients in healthcare facilities happy and active. This year, the week of January 23–27, is when the National Association of Activity Professionals (NAAP) has designated National Activities Professional Week (NAPW) as the time when leadership salutes these highly important workers. Additionally, January 27, 2023, is National Activities Professional Day, and special lunches and other events are scheduled to take place. Photographed here is the activities team, led by director Tammy Voeltz, at Ontario Center, the popular 98-bed skilled nursing facility on Country Complex Drive in Canandaigua, 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.
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:
