Daughters of Sarah Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Albany has been selected as one of five long-term care facilities nationwide—and one of three in New York State—to participate in the Community Engagement Project. This initiative, led by IPRO, the Quality Innovation Network/Quality Improvement Organization working directly with CMS, aims to explore the potential of community engagement in enhancing the quality of life for nursing home residents.
The Center seeks volunteers and organizations able to connect the Center with community resources to bring residents’ interests to life.
Mary Roy, Community Engagement coordinator, said, “After deep conversations with our residents, we’ve identified key activities that resonate with them. These activities, ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and lifelong learning, promise to provide our residents with opportunities for socialization, creativity, and intellectual stimulation.
“We are seeking volunteers and organizations who can connect us with community resources to bring our residents’ interests and passions to life. Whether through direct involvement or by facilitating connections, your contribution can significantly impact the lives of those who call Daughters of Sarah home.”
Those interested in involvement are asked to contact Roy at Daughters of Sarah, 180 Washington Ave Ext., Albany, 12203, or at [email protected].
