In Touch This Week Features Archcare at Ferncliff in Rhinebeck

What comes to mind when you hear the words "nursing home"? Too many times, it doesn't bring to mind happy images. How many times have we heard people say, "I don't want to be in a nursing home"? But what if I told you that there is a nursing home and rehabilitation facility here in the Hudson Valley, that challenges those stereotypes of what a nursing home can be.

My interview this week with Charissa Brown, program manager and social worker at The Center for Neurodegenerative Care at ArchCare @ Ferncliff Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center in Rhinebeck reveals a facility that cares for not only its patients, but the families, as well. Whether you or someone you love needs short or long term care, a stay in the sub-acute rehab unit, or are struggling with diseases such as Huntington’s and ALS, Archcare at Ferncliff has the services and care that can help you.

Charissa also talked about some exciting news: the appointment of medical doctor Gerald M. Kufner as the Medical Director for the Center for Neurodegenerative Care. As you listen to the interview below, you'll hear the caring and compassion in Charissa's voice and hopefully this will help you, or someone you know, who may be facing some health issues.
