Pumpkin Carving and Candy at Northern Riverview
On October 27 at Northern Riverview in Haverstraw, the staff at the facility had a Halloween pumpkin carving contest where the residents were the judges. From a gorgeous candy corn pumpkin to a chilling baby mommy, plus other sights of the season, the contest went off without a hitch. The staff worked diligently to create eye-catching creative pumpkins and they were grouped by departments, carving a few days before the contest. Recreation made sure that they creatively displayed each piece of Halloween art beautifully surrounding them in trick or treat candy including funny spooky sayings. There was even a Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine get Your Booooooster Shot display with another sign that read Needle ittle More Candy????? The residents chose the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. First Place: The Candy Corn Pumpkin (created by Admissions and Reception), Second Place: The M & M Pumpkin (created by Rehabilitation) and Third Place: The Baby Mummy Pumpkin, (created by Recreation)

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:
