"Care That Moves You Day" Seen at All Centers' Brooklyn Nursing Homes

On August 21st, Centers Health Care's Brooklyn skilled nursing facilities celebrated National Senior Citizens Day with their 2nd annual “Care That Moves You Day”, a day dedicated to healthy moving and fun for their residents and even all of the staff got into the art of moving and having fun. The Recreation and Therapy department combined their efforts by making the day fun while the residents did so many forms of exercises and games, no one missed out on what the day had to offer. At Boro Park Center on 10th Avenue in Borough Park, residents got involved in games such as Hungy Hungry Hippo, bean bag toss, bowling and basketball, all done in an exciting fashion with music in an upbeat music fashion.

Over at Bushwick Center, the residents had a special dance on their patio all mixed in with a tasty BBQ and that great flavorful hometown Brooklyn pizza.

Brooklyn Center in Crown Heights featured a tug of war in their rehabilitation room, plus there was a Zumba class, fun and safe archery, bowling, ball hole toss, fun gun basket shoot and more.

Concord Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Madison Street in Bedford Stuyvesant observed and celebrated "Care That Moves You Day' with a carnival set-up where they had ring toss cones, soda can knockdown, plus there was dancing among the staff and residents.

Each facility had a special lunch for both the hard-working staff and the residents and the other common denominator was that all of the residents did so many different forms of exercises which was the bottom line goal. It was a real Brooklyn coming together that celebrated seniors and their health while having so much fun.
