Proud Essex Center Moment
[L-R: Mr. Joe Provoncha, Resident Council VP, Ms. Vilardo, and Mr. Sumner]
The January Resident Council at Essex Center in Elizabethtown, New York, met last month too, not only to discuss various timely issues and upcoming events but also to honor Administrator Tara Vilardo with a plaque for the great job she is doing for the residents at the 100-bed skilled nursing facility on Park Street. Ms. Vilardo stands by her important Open Door policy for both the residents and staff. She’s always available to work out problems and concerns that may arise. Resident Council President Steve Sumner says that if someone has a concern, Tara fixes it in a timely manner and that her personality is always encouraging and uplifting. Ms. Vilardo takes her daily walk-throughs and always stops to hear out her residents.

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:
