Naming Ceremony for Waterfront Center
As featured in front page of the Buffalo Local News section
The Waterfront Center nursing home was renamed Thursday the Ellicott Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare in a homage to the city’s history.
The name change at the 160-bed skilled nursing facility on 7th street is a part of a branding effort by the owner, Bronx-based Centers Health Care, which operates more than 42 skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities in New York State, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
It coincides with renovations at the nursing home here, including the lobby, activities lounge and main dining room, officials said.
\"The decision to change the name to Ellicott Center only speaks of the tremendous respect that the facility has for the history of Buffalo and it’s surrounding areas. It also reinforces the Centers Health Care approach and reinsures that care is at the forefront of who we are,\" administrator Denise Marciano said in a statement.
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:
