Recognition for Tom Upton’s Service


[L-R: A proud Tom Upton enjoying his dedicated BBQ lunch and Slate Valley Center Administrator Janice Doughman wishes Tom the best of luck on his retirement.]
Slate Valley Center is saying thank you from the bottom of their hearts. After twelve years of employment at Slate Valley Center in Granville, the highly well-loved Maintenance Director who was known throughout the facility as the always “can do right-hand man guy”, Mr. Tom Upton, retired at the end of last week. Leadership and staff at the 88-bed skilled nursing facility at State Route 40 treated Tom to a BBQ lunch and all were sad to see him go into retirement bliss.

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:
