"Movement is a cornerstone of our care at Centers Health Care, so we're excited about how our 'Care That Moves You' program promotes healthy habits through exercise and engaging activities," said Kenny Rozenberg, CEO of Centers Health Care. "For 27 years, our mission has been delivering exceptional post-acute care, whether it's short-term rehabilitation or long-term support. In the two years that we've hosted 'Care That Moves You,' we've seen an increase in mobility and overall health and wellbeing – not just for residents, but for our team members as well – and that's truly phenomenal."
Taking care of caregivers is another core value at Centers Health Care. Mr. Rozenberg recently published an article in Modern Healthcare about the need to train and support long-term caregivers: Join us in supporting our certified nursing assistants.
