Riverwood Health & Rehabilitation Center | 808 S. Colley Road, Starke, FL 32091

The Greystone Health Network

recognizes the value of recreation and we are

proud to have talented activities teams at each

of our locations. These teams are developing

exciting new programs designed to enhance our

resident’s health mentally and physically while

providing fun and creative outlets.

Recreation is proven to reduce stress,

improve our mood, control our pain and lower

our blood pressure. Studies show time and time

again that our bodies crave activity, and our

quality of life improves when we are active

participants in recreational programs.

Participating in recreational activities

allows you to improve mental and physical

conditions all at the same time, providing a

greater benefit to your health. While recreation

is certainly not a replacement for medical

treatments, it is a great way to positively

contribute to our overall well being.

We encourage our residents to

participate in our activity offerings, located on

your community calendars as well as inside this

newsletter. Family and friends are welcome to

participate with their loved ones in appropriate

programs.

As we continue to improve our programs

and provide activities that our residents find

entertaining and stimulating we welcome your

suggestions. If there is something that you

would like to see offered during your stay with

us, please let your activities department know.

The Importance of Recreation By Stefanie Resch

Activities, including board games, stimulate your brain while

engaging you in physical activities.

Riverwood Review October, 2015

To our residents, friends and families, Our organization has seen tremendous growth in the last year, and our accomplishments highlight the passion, perseverance and dedication the entire Greystone Health Network exhibits. Everything we do is centered on an exceptional customer experience. I want to share with you all our network has achieved in the pursuit of excellent care. Our corporate office has earned the Top Workplaces in Tampa Bay award for the fifth year. More than seven of our centers have applied for or achieved Fit-Friendly worksite recognition by the American Heart Association. Seven of our communities achieved National Quality Award – Bronze by the American Health Care Association and one achieved the National Quality Award – Silver, both awarded to less than 10 percent of skilled nursing centers in Florida. We have expanded our services to provide a full continuum of care for our customers, including 11 skilled nursing communities in Ohio, a home health branch and hospice agency in the Greater Columbus area. In Florida, we have extended our home care services in the Greater Orlando and Tampa Bay areas and added Greystone Personal Care offering private duty services in The Villages, FL and Tampa, FL. As we continue to grow, achieve, and improve ourselves we look forward to serving you, our customers, with the highest quality clinical and customer service care.

With care and compassion,

Connie Bessler, CEO
