East Neck Nursing and Rehab Center Residents Participate in The Golden Games

The East Neck Nursing and Rehabilitation Center residents recently participated in the Golden Games, an annual Olympic style event for senior citizens. This year’s games were held at the Patchogue Family YMCA, which accommodated more than one hundred residents from nine senior citizen care facilities in Suffolk County.

During the games, the participants competed in a series of events such as volleyball, distance throw, basketball, bowling and relay races for their chance to win gold, silver and bronze medals for their facility during the day-long event. Participants from the East Neck Nursing and Rehabilitation Center showcased their athletic abilities—placing an impressive second in bowling, third in distance throw and fourth in the volleyball tournament.

This fun filled event focused on team-building by providing East Neck residents a day of friendly competition and time to socialize with residents of neighboring care centers.
