CareRite Centers Proudly Recognized By Mcknights Tech Awards Ceremony
St. James Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center
Manchester Center for Rehabilitation and Healing
The Hamlet Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center at Nesconset
Dedicated to exceptional clinical care, guest service, and overall engagement for both employees and residents alike, CareRite Centers was awarded as the GOLD winner in the category of Resident Engagement and Recreation for their Signature Lifelong Learning Program.
The Lifelong Learning program is a staple of the CareRite Centers’ Recreation Therapy model, created on the foundation that everyone, no matter their age or background, has the want and need to learn and gain new skills. The program includes classes in the fields of math, history, and science, as well as creative arts. Since its inception, the Lifelong Learning Program provides additional opportunities for education and the opportunity to learn new skills, tailoring the classes and overall program to the cognitive needs and abilities of all participants.
Adult education classes are held year-round, and the goal of each program is to foster a sense of accomplishment for each resident. Whether enjoying a floral arranging workshop, wood-working class, or even making sushi, each individual participating has an enriching experience.
The Lifelong Learning Program has welcomed many subacute patients who have difficulty wanting to engage as they are on their healing journey to home, or long-term care residents who are nervous or apprehensive to leave their routine and try something new. Therapeutic Recreation team members throughout the network engage with Resident Council, polling all potential participants of classes or topics that they are most interested in learning about; these team members offer a sense of community, and welcome all skill levels to the Lifelong Learning Program classes, building bridges between those who are nervous to engage with their fellow community members.
The culmination of the lifelong learning series is a graduation ceremony; while adorning caps and gowns, all resident graduates receive a diploma and celebrate their achievements with one another, invited guests and dignitaries, as well as their family and loved ones.
McKnight’s is the leading publication and business news brand serving the skilled nursing setting, and CareRite was elated to be recognized by this incredible organization for the second year in a row, this year with their GOLD distinction in the Resident Engagement and Recreation category.
Last year, CareRite received two Bronze designations from McKnight’s in Training & Education Solutions (CareRite Culinary University: Continued Dietary Education and Innovation) and Telehealth Solutions (TEMI: The CareRite and Progressive Care Telehealth Robot). CareRite also congratulates their colleagues and fellow providers who were also awarded in their respective fields by McKnight’s!

This initiative is so important to the network- philanthropy and giving back to the local communities of their centers is at the heart of their mission, while also supporting the educators of “CareRite Kids” is always top of mind when
bridging the intergenerational gap.
