After rehabilitating for a broken leg that required physical therapy, Alina returned as a Recreation Assistant.

Congratulations to the 60 West staff on a receiving a Five Star rating from CMS, including Five Stars in Quality Measures, Staffing and Health Inspection. This is quite an achievement.

Patient George F. provided a testimonial on his stay at Touchpoints at Manchester after a total hip replacement.
