Mount Alverno receives new lobby furniture

WARWICK — Since the lobby furniture has been replaced at Mount Alverno Center, the residents are saying that they can now welcome visitors in style. The furniture is only the beginning of a recent face-lifting program, made possible by a grant from the New York State Department of Health as part of the state’s Quality Incentive Program to support the completion of capital improvements and enhancement of resident services in adult homes statewide. Additional plans for upgrading and improvements in the lobby area include painting, window dressing, wall artwork, and even a flat screen plasma television. The adult residence and assisted living program is located on the Warwick Campus of the Bon Secours Health Care System. “We not only want our residents to be comfortable,” said Kathie Deak, director of Mount Alverno. “We want them to feel at home.”
