Certification Achievement at Slate Valley
A big congratulations goes to Ms. Andrea Kelley, Recreation Director at Slate Valley Center in Granville as she has passed her national exam and has become Activity Director Certified (ADC) accredited. The ADC standing needs to renewed every two years and it is given by the National Certification Council for Activity Professionals (NCCAP), is a credentialing body which sets standards and criteria for those working to meet the leisure needs of those in their care. A Certified Activity Director meets NCCAP standards to direct an activity staff and program. More than two years of education or training post high school is needed and two years of work experience as well. Upon earning her degree, Administrator Janice Doughman, along with the Recreation Team, got Ms. Kelley roses for her achievement. The flowers came along with a note that read: "Congratulations! You worked hard and we appreciate you. Slate Valley Center". "I love what I do, that’s why this degree life-fulfilling," says Kelley.

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:
