National Polar Bear Day Celebration
[L-R: Ms. Eva Barrett from Queensbury, NY, and Ms. Joan Hall from Ticonderoga, NY]
Since February 27 was National Polar Bear Day, residents at Slate Valley Center in Granville, New York, had an educational event on that day as they learned and enjoyed everything there is to know about one of the earth’s strongest mammals. These residents did activity sheets and watched an informative documentary on polar bears while receiving their own little fun polar bears. Slate Valley Center residents have been enjoying the return of in-house animal therapy after a long time without them due to COVID precautions over the past few years. It’s without saying that animals bring lots of joy to everyone.

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:
