Now that the post-Covid age is here, residents at Northern Riverview in Haverstraw fully enjoyed themselves this Halloween, having a “spooktacular” time!

Resident Sheila Kaminsky loved her Halloween cake while wearing her bumblebee ears

Lori Silverstein’s Recreation Department in their cozy 180-bed nursing and rehabilitation center on Route 9W had the residents create handheld happy “puffy ghosts” which they can hang up in their rooms. What's more is that she had a pumpkin bean-bag throwing toss in the dining room and the residents laughed as they tried to get the bean bag through the pumpkins mouth. They simply loved it!

Resident Virginia Honan made some great puffy ghosts

With so many activities, the residents had an appetite for delicious chocolate Halloween cake.
