		<description><![CDATA[Everyone wants to be able to give back to those who have spent their lives giving to us. This is especially the case when it comes to aging or sick parents. These are the folks that carried us for nine months, taught us right from wrong and ushered us safely into adulthood.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.northernservicesgroup.org/aboutus.html"><img class="alignright  wp-image-464" title="northern facilities staff" src="http://www.northernservicesgroupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/northern-facilities-staff-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="183" /></a>Everyone wants to be able to give back to those who have spent their lives giving to us. This is especially the case when it comes to aging or sick parents. These are the folks that carried us for nine months, taught us right from wrong and ushered us safely into adulthood. They are a large part of the reason we are who we are today.</p>
<p>Therefore, it only makes sense that initially people fight the urge to call a <a href="http://www.northernservicesgroup.org/aboutus.html">NY rehab center</a> for their parents. The idea of telling our parents they need more help than we can give them is often unappealing. And, frequently, adult children take on the role of caregiver as a result. What about when it becomes too much?</p>
<p>First, ignore the internal voices that may be telling you that seeking more help for your parents is selfish, weak or wrong. The fact of the matter might be that your parents simply need more care than you can provide them. Calling <a href="http://www.northernservicesgroup.org/tour.html">a rehab center in NY</a> for a respite stay is often the most loving act you can take. This ensures they get the care they need while you get the break <em>you</em> need to return to being the caregiver they deserve.</p>

Maintaining cardiac health is an urgent and intricate process, which is why we have highly experienced professionals available for cardiac therapy at all of our <a href="http://www.northernmanor.com/aboutus.html">New York rehab centers</a>.</p>
<p>What exactly defines cardiac therapy? This form of rehabilitation is the modification of exercise, diet, and general behavioral habits in order to improve overall cardiac health. The exercise portion of any cardiac therapy program starts slowly and eventually becomes more rigorous, improving the patient&#8217;s stamina throughout the process. Cardiac patients are generally put on a diet that is low on sodium, fat, and cholesterol to prevent further complications. Heart conditions have many mental causes such as anxiety and stress, which is why our experienced counselors are always available to help patients through any emotional issues. Cardiac therapy programs also generally involve education sessions where the patient can gain a better understanding of why they are feeling the way they do and what steps they can do to help themselves.</p>
<p>Cardiac health is a sensitive matter, which is why our <a href="http://www.northernmanor.com/contact.html">New York nursing homes</a> are filled with professionals ready to give attentive, individualized care. From proper diet and exercise to finding the right emotional state, we are dedicated to making sure you and your loved ones have a healthy heart.</p>

All of our facilities have the same commitment to patient care and this week we would like to highlight Northern Metropolitan.</p>
<p>Located in Monsey, NY, this Rockland County nursing home offers a full suite of specialty services. With caring medical professionals always available, every patient at Northern Metropolitan receives attentive, individualized care. Listed below are a few of the facility&#8217;s specific programs:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.northernmet.com/aboutus.html">Short Term Rehab</a>:</strong> For patients who need short term care, our skilled professionals offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy through dynamic, custom-tailored weekly programs. Our primary goal is to restore our patients&#8217; daily living skills, allowing them a seamless transition back into the real world at the end of their treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Adult Day Care:</strong> Northern Metropolitan is one of our two facilities that offer adult day programs. Our adult day care is designed to help families taking care of an older loved one, as we help our patients retain their independence while allowing them to socialize with others. Our day centers are open Sunday through Friday and we can easily arrange for door-to-door transportation for your or your family member.</p>
<p><strong>Respite Stay:</strong> Take a break from caring for your loved one and gain the peace of mind that they will enjoy a quality short-term stay with us.</p>

While there are many physical operations and treatments involved in rehabilitation, one of our key goals at Northern Manor is to ensure that our residents stay occupied and have a good time.</p>
<p>What exactly is therapeutic recreation? The purpose is to improve the overall well-being of the ill and disabled through various activities. There are an endless amount of ways to physically and mentally give a resident a sense of normalcy, which is why all of our therapeutic recreation is completely individualized. This form of therapy can be as simple as having residents play a board game for social and mental stimulation or as intensive as an organized game of tennis to get the blood going. It is quite simple: We let our residents find solace in the things that make them happy. Is your loved one an avid chef? Their therapeutic recreation may involve a cooking activity. If a resident makes art or music, we give them the means to do so.</p>
<p>In addition to being a key part of physical and emotional rehabilitation, therapeutic recreation is one of the many ways we let our residents retain a piece of home when they come to our <a href="http://www.cfscgonline.com/northernmanor/index.html">New York rehab center</a>. While we handle all of our residents&#8217; medical needs, we also make sure we can put a smile on their faces.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dutchesscenter.com/index.html"><img class=" wp-image-341 alignleft" title="Lifestyles Retreat" src="http://www.northernservicesgroupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Lifestyles-Retreat.jpg" alt="Northern Services" width="220" height="136" /></a>Settling into a rehabilitation center or retirement home can be a jarring process. Every step of you or your loved one&#8217;s daily routine at home is forever changed, forcing you to make big adjustments when it comes to anything from dining to sleeping. However, in addition to making it easy to transition into a New York rehab center, the Dutchess Center makes sure its patients stay active and happy through the special &#8220;<a href="http://www.dutchesscenter.com/Bariatricprogram.html">Lifestyles Retreat</a>&#8221; program.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lifestyles Retreat&#8221; is a bariatric program designed to help patients with weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and overall health. Designed with patient needs in mind, the fully-featured program includes individualized treatment, goal setting, and group meetings where residents can find motivation through their peers. We also offer a therapy gym to keep our residents active with weights and cardio, as well as an array of nutrition classes to help establish healthy eating habits.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how a typical day of &#8220;Lifestyles Retreat&#8221; might pan out:</p>
<table border="0" style="margin:5px 0px 5px 0px;padding-left:0px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px 20px 0px 0px;">7-8 AM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Open Gym</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px 20px 0px 0px;">8:30-9:30 AM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Breakfast</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">9:30 AM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Morning Excercise</td>

<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">3-4:30 PM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Physical Therapy or Open Gym</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">5-6 PM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Dinner</td>

<tr>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">6:30-7:30 PM</td>
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">Evening Program or Peer Support</td>
</tr>
<tbody>
</table>
<p>A program as intensive as &#8220;Lifestyles Retreat&#8221; needs the best professionals in the industry, which is why we have registered dietitians, physical therapists, full-time doctors, and social workers at the ready. The term &#8220;rehab center&#8221; might carry a certain stigma to it, but at Dutchess Center you or your loved one can have a safe place to meet new people, stay healthy and fit, and most importantly, be happy.</p>
