Baloo Brings Joy to Corning Center
Former pound puppy Baloo is over six months old now, and as a therapy Labrabull for the residents at Corning Center in Corning, New York, Baloo is always a breath of fresh air. Owned by Recreation Director Shannon Robertson, Baloo has been visiting the residents at the 120-bed skilled nursing facility on East First Avenue since he was a baby. Baloo loves coming to work because he knows that he’s about to receive so much love and attention from everyone, including the staff. In addition to all of the activities the residents receive at Corning Center, Baloo is the icing on the cake.

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:
