Today was Amy Cunha’s last day as The Palmettos of Garden City Director of Nursing. Amy began her journey with the Palmettos in 2021 as an LPN and has been Director of Nursing since January 2023. Her love for the residents, passion for nursing, and commitment to everyone at the Palmettos has been second to none. Though Amy is retired from the DON position, that love, passion, and commitment has led her to stay with the Palmettos part time as a Care Plan Coordinator. She’ll be with us in a different capacity, but we want to congratulate Amy on her outstanding 44 year nursing career. Thank you for sharing your huge heart with us, Amy!

We’d also like to welcome our new Director of Nursing, Nina Welna, who has 22 years experience as a nurse. With Amy training her the last couple weeks, it has been a very smooth and natural transition and we’re all so excited to have her as part of our Palmetto Family.

Bottle flipping can be described as a game that’s reminiscent of simple old favorites like jacks and pickup sticks. While primarily seen as a game, the act of bottle flipping involves skills that can be beneficial in physical therapy contexts, particularly for developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Here's how bottle flipping can be connected to physical therapy:

Fine Motor Skills: The precise movements of holding, releasing, and aiming the bottle can help individuals improve their grip, finger dexterity, and control over small muscle movements.

Hand-Eye Coordination: Successfully flipping a bottle and having it land upright requires good hand-eye coordination, the ability to integrate visual information with motor control. This skill is crucial for many everyday tasks.

Focus and Concentration: Bottle flipping demands focus and concentration to execute the flip correctly and consistently.

We also enjoyed “Adding to Art” with Erica, Sit & Be Fit with Randi, music with Joshua Alan, and Word Games with Alyssa.
