Looking Good and Feeling Great at Glens Falls Center

After nearly a year of shutdown to families, some nursing homes are starting to reopen where families are making appointments with the facility to visit their loved one in person. This is only open to families, various services, like hair styling and barber, are still not permitted to reopen their businesses inside of the nursing home.

So Glens Falls Center Recreation Director Marijo Natale and her team on Sherman Avenue in Glens Falls decided to start a new program called “Glens Falls Center Serenity Spa”, a service that has brought in nursing students from the South Adirondack Education Center in Hudson Falls. These students are completing their clinical rotation with Glens Falls Center by providing a professional spa treatment and the residents are extremely happy.

“These students are doing such an amazing job with shampooing, styling, hands and face moisturizing, nails clipping, painting and a delicious massage,” said Natale. "Given that we are striving towards normalcy, our residents need to feel it too.”
