VESTAL (WBNG) – The Vestal Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center hosted their Community Carnival today in the back parking lot of their facility.
Dozens of families came to enjoy attractions such as bounce houses, face painting, horse rides, a splash tank and even a petting zoo.
This event was not only for the residents of the center, but also for the staff.
12 News spoke with Nicole Caminiti, a nurse manager at Vestal Park about how the staff coped during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’ve had a couple of indoor events, but this is really a great outdoor thing for people to spread out and have a good time. The residents who come out with their families really appreciate seeing everyone he’s having a good time and I think it’s been great so far.” said Nicole Caminiti.
Seniors at the center were also happy to have the opportunity to engage with the community.
