Activities and Dining

A positive and uplifting atmosphere and delicious food can set the tone for a resident’s stay. Astoria Nursing and Rehabilitation Center employs outgoing and friendly professional staff to create interesting social programs and activities. We often tailor activities and meals to match the needs and capabilities of each resident. This has a powerful impact on the healing process.

Activities

Each resident is given a calendar to keep them informed of upcoming events such as birthday parties, movies, musical programs, outings and other special events. Friends and family are always welcome to visit and attend our special events.

Dining

Astoria residents enjoy appetizing, nutritious meals, which are prepared under the supervision of a Registered Dietitian. Special diets, as well as personal preferences, are considered. Feeding assistance is given as necessary and personal feeding retraining is offered to those residents who will benefit. Therapeutic diets are provided with a physician’s orders. Those residents not on a therapeutic diet can choose from a delicious range of dishes that rotate daily. Every Friday at 6 p.m. is Happy Hour. The 2nd Thursday of every month we have a special Country Breakfast. And the 4th Thursday of every month we have a special Candle-light Dinner.
