Healthy Recipes for January: Nourishing Your Body with Seasonal Foods
As we embrace the fresh start of January, nourishing our bodies with seasonal foods is a delicious and health-conscious approach. At Centers Healthcare, we advocate for incorporating nutrient-rich ingredients into your meals. Try a winter salad with hearty greens, citrus fruits, and nuts for a burst of vitamins. Roasted root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots make for a comforting and nutritious side dish. Embrace the power of soups, utilizing seasonal produce like butternut squash and kale. Incorporating lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of colorful vegetables ensures a well-rounded and satisfying meal. By exploring these healthy recipes, you’re not just eating; you’re fueling your body with the goodness of the season.

Richmond Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing With 4 Ways to Improve Your At-Home Dining Space
With indoor dining options severely limited during the COVID-19 pandemic and outdoor dining difficult to manage during the winter months, you may be getting sick of your eating space. That nice restaurant meal just doesn’t taste the same out of Styrofoam containers and eating at your kitchen table.
With that in mind, Richmond Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing has four ways to spruce up your dining setup to make it feel like you’re having a much longed-for night out.
- Move the Table
Something as simple as moving your kitchen or dining room table will give you a whole new experience. You’ll see your space in a different light, making it feel like you’re dining out.
- Get a Bar Cart
You don’t have to break the bank to get a bar cart, and this can feel like your own personal server. You don’t have to leave the table to get everything you need for your dinner, just like you would at a restaurant.
- Focus on the Aroma
Some smells bring back memories, and restaurants are full of pleasant aromas, whether it’s the food or in the décor. A simple move like lighting a candle can help transport you from your home to an entirely different locale, serving as a much-needed escape.
- The Finishing Touches
Think about other minor changes that can transform your space. If you don’t normally use a tablecloth, put one on, or you can utilize a different one. Add fresh flowers, salt and pepper shakers, ketchup or hot sauce bottles, play soft music—anything that you miss from the eating out experience will add to your takeout meal.

Centers Health Care patients can breathe easier; they benefit from the most advanced Ventilator Care in the country.
The very latest vent care technology combined with a preeminent medical staff has improved the lives of all the patients who come to Centers Vent Care Units. Each unit is designed for patients who require ventilator care due to an injury, chronic disease or other respiratory complications.
All patients on ventilators are closely monitored by physicians, respiratory therapists and skilled nurses trained in respiratory care. Patient monitoring 24-hours a day ensures the greatest possible comfort, as our highly skilled staff blends empathy with expertise to create unique goal-oriented care plans for each individual patient.
An expert team monitors patient progress, making daily adjustments to the plan, in order to create a real-time program to get patients stronger. Although some patients require the ventilator for the long-term, our units wean many off of vent care.
There’s much more to the unit than ventilators. Bilingual dietary specialists, ongoing family education and support, post-discharge assistance and follow-up, as well as comprehensive, personalized plans all reduce the risk of future complications.
