Kenny’s Corner
Here’s to Summer! The heat is on. Summer is officially here, and that means fire up the grill—and send up some fireworks—as we celebrate July 4th, Independence Day. Here at Centers Health Care, independence has a very special meaning. In fact, we think of every day as Independence Day. With our short-term rehabilitation residents, a successful outcome means that we have helped them get back to the independent life they know and love. Within our facilities, we provide an environment of respect that allows our long-term care residents to achieve a sense of independence as well, as they choose to participate in the activities they enjoy and meet with family and friends when they wish. As we set out to enjoy our barbecues, parades and pyrotechnics, let it serve as a reminder that all of us at Centers are in the business of doing all we can to help our residents enjoy the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
