At Slate Valley Center on State Route 40 in Granville, one of the most popular and enjoyable projects the residents get involved in is the creation of Dream Boards, according to the organization.
This is a positive arts and crafts project in which the residents use images and pictures to truly demonstrate who they are and show what they love in their lives, anything from family get-togethers, summertime BBQs and their favorite vacation destinations.
Additionally, these boards demonstrate their dreams and desires, designed to display various inspirations and motivations.
“Our residents really get into doing these dream boards,” said Recreation Director Bailey Greenough. “We do so much in the way of arts and crafts, but this project is so different because it becomes so personal. You can see some of the residents get teary eyed while doing this because of their fondest memories they have. These emotions they have make us teary-eyed, as well.”
Slate Valley Center does the dream boards project every so often and Greenough said she doesn’t want to overdo it so the popularity and interest stays strong with the 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:
