Hennis Care Centre of Dover is proud to announce the grand re-opening of Pat’s Porch, a Transitional Therapy House designed to provide exceptional care in a warm, residential-style setting.

Named in honor of Patricia “Pat” Hennis, Pat’s Porch reflects her vision of delivering the highest quality care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Her legacy lives on in every detail of this thoughtfully designed space.

Located adjacent to the main facility at 309 E. 17th Street in Dover, Pat’s Porch offers luxurious accommodations paired with personalized, patient-centered services. Residents benefit from in-house therapy services, delivered by dedicated therapists who provide patient support tailored to everyone’s recovery and wellness goals.

A standout feature of Pat’s Porch is its culinary program. Chefs Dennis and Carla work diligently each day to provide food of the highest culinary standards. Every meal is crafted using the freshest ingredients and carefully prepared to meet each individual’s unique dietary needs.

“My grandmother, Pat, always believed our residents deserved the very best care in a warm, welcoming environment,” said Brian Hennis, Administrator and fourth-generation operator of Hennis Care Centre. “The house that is now Pat’s Porch was once my grandparents’ home, which makes this especially meaningful. I know they would be proud of what it represents today.”

Pat’s Porch continues the tradition of offering our community a place where patients and residents can heal, thrive, and feel at home. Community members are invited to stop by, tour the new facility, and experience firsthand the comfort and care that define Pat’s Porch.

𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:

Calling all office workers 🗣️Work in some mobility work whenever you're able! Just because you're at a monitor, doesn't mean you have to sit all day. Sit in a deep sumo squat, shift your weight side to side, stand up and squat back down, do it several times. Calf raises, standing march in place, stretch your arms behind the back, behind your head, press some light weight overhead - it all counts. Research shows that short, frequent bouts of activity does more for our cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health than sitting most of the day and busting it to the limit for an hour at the gym any day. So, if you're looking to make a very easy, sustainable change in your daily wellness, start here! Adding in a quick walk over lunch break is even better. Consistency is key.

You're never too old to start....see comments⤵️

👀👀👀This is a MAJOR 😮breakthrough in recent research. Bottom line...get up and get your body moving if you want to avoid dementia later in life. In your 50s, 60s, 70s, & beyond? Doesn't matter. Movement is medicine - not only for our heart/lungs/muscles, but bigtime medicine for the BRAIN🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠.

In my junior year in undergraduate public health/wellness studies at Ohio State back in the early 2000s, I did a paper summarizing the potential long-term impact of the Framingham Study on US healthcare costs and rates of chronic diseases. It didn't seem like homework to me because I couldn't stop reading the encouraging results (at that time) as it related to cardiovascular disease. That research was 1 thing that lit a fire in me to push for further education and eventually jump into the opposite end of the healthcare spectrum - rehabilitation. The length of this study gives it so much credibility and the proof is in the pudding here. As PT's, we don't just randomly tell people to exercise, because specificity is important, BUT...let's not overcomplicate it...something is better than nothing! Movement WORKS.
