Celebration for achieving great survey results Margaret Tietz is proud to have attained outstanding results on our recent 2013 survey by the NYS Dept. of Health. In acknowledgement of the fact that our outstanding care is reflective of our outstanding staff, Employee Recognition awards were presented to all our departments by our Executive Director Yoel Lichstein.

Margaret Tietz was proud to sponsor the annual Jewish Music Under the Stars in Cunningham Park. Families turned out en masse to enjoy the various performers and two lucky attendees at each concert won the Margaret Tietz raffle. They were truly evenings to remember.

Star performer Yoel Sharabi is a master of Modern Israeli & Chassidic melodies who has captivated audiences worldwide. He is also a dear friend of Mr. Abraham Antman, a 100 year old short-term rehab patient at Margaret Tietz Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, whose daughter Chana is Mr. Sharabi’s music agent. On  Thursday, August 15th, Margaret Tietz residents, family members and staff packed the facility’s Recreation Room for a special guest performance by Mr. Sharabi. The atmosphere was electric as the singer connected with the audience instantly, and regaled the crowd with renditions from Fiddler on the Roof golden oldies to some beloved Israeli hits. His solo concert lasted over an hour and culminated with the singer bending his head for a heartfelt blessing from the elderly Mr. Antman, followed by spontaneous dancing.

Their individual one-to-one visits, and group efforts are greatly appreciated by our residents and patients. The luncheon fittingly took place during National Volunteer week – the week of April 22nd. Local businesses contributed wonderful gifts for a spectacular raffle.
