WARWICK, NY (January 20) – It was a fun afternoon on Wednesday, January 20, for both young and older at Schervier Pavilion, a skilled nursing facility on the Warwick Campus of the Bon Secours Charity Health System.
As part of Schervier Pavilion's intergenerational programming, residents had an opportunity to get together with children from the nearby Warrwick Day Care Center for a "Winter Carnival".
The staff at the Day Care Center brought along games with winter games and the room was arranged in stations. The children and the residents then engaged in games that included ice fishing, snowball throws and tossing snowballs through a snowman among others. And everyone had a great time.
The visit by the children was a welcome experience for the residents and the staff of Schervier Pavilion.
All programs at Schervier Pavilion are designed to meet the psychosocial and physical needs of the residents with activities that are not only enjoyable but are also intended to achieve this goal.
Schervier Pavilion is a 120-bed skilled nursing facility licensed by the New York State Department of Health. Dedicated to the highest standard of health care excellence, its full range of services, such as its therapeutic recreational program, are designed to respond to each individual's physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
In addition to quality long term care services, Schervier Pavilion also offers a wide range of short-term (sub acute) care needs. Its sub acute services include IV therapy, Rehabilitation therapy and wound care. These services afford residents the ability to recuperate for a short time in the sub-acute unit of the facility and then return home where they can resume a more independent life. In
some cases, they can then enter Schervier Pavilion's Day-At-A-Time, an innovative medical adult day care program that provides nursing services, medication administration, ongoing evaluations, and stimulating activities tailored to each individual's needs and abilities.
