Nurses honored

New Lebanon Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center is honoring the vital role its staff played in maintaining human connections and wellbeing for its residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people living in skilled nursing facilities were isolated from loved ones and friends.

New Lebanon Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center celebrated this responsibility during two recognition events in May. Throughout National Nurses Week, May 6 to May 12, its nursing staff was honored for their work during the pandemic performing the most essential healthcare tasks, often as one of the first points of contact for residents. Then, during this year’s annual observance of National Skilled Nursing Care Week, from May 8 to May 14, the facility paid tribute to all of its staff for the successful work accomplished during the pandemic to create and nurture connections for their residents. New Lebanon Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility providing long-term care, short-term care, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehab-tohome, speech therapy, hospice care, respite care, and a secure memory care unit.
