Activities Department The New York
State Veteran's Home provides an ongoing recreation and activities program
designed to meet the interests and physical/psycho-social well being of
each resident. Activities staff encourage residents to voluntarily participate
in facility programs, stimulate residents to use their physical and mental
capabilities to the fullest extent and enable residents to maintain a
sense of usefulness and self-respect.
